Problem building fail2ban with PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc

[Jarle Greipsland <jarle.greipsland%norid.no@localhost>]

Hi!

I have set up a build infrastructure with pkgtools/pkg_comp on a
NetBSD/amd64 version 9.4_STABLE machine.  I have the following
customizations in /etc/mk.conf:

PKG_DBDIR=              /usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb
LOCALBASE=              /usr/pkg
VARBASE=                /var
PKG_SYSCONFBASE=        /etc
PKG_TOOLS_BIN=          /usr/pkg/sbin
PKGINFODIR=             info
PKGMANDIR=              man

TOOLS_PLATFORM.sh?=             /bin/sh

I listed security/fail2ban as one of the packages I wanted built.
The build failed during the pbulk chroot install stage, and left
the following error messages in the install.log file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there something specific to this package that I need to set
somewhere?  Or is it a bug in the pkgsrc build configuration
files?  Or something else?
