I'm getting a lot of these messages since a few days when trying to 
install anything X11 related. It all seems related to xproto or xorgproto.

Result is that any pkgsrc port related to X11 fails to install.

I'm running NetBSD 7.1.1/i386 and tried both pkgsrc current and stable, 
but every time run into the same problem.
