Do you have a "/usr/pkgsrc/packages" directory?

The problem is that unexpected output of "pkg_info" is being fed,
inappropriately, to "dc" as part of the overall size calculation
("pkg_info -qS"). The unexpected output is a complaint that PKG_PATH
does not exist. This complaint won't occur with NetBSD-1.4.3 and
NetBSD-1.5, for which "pkg_info -q" is quieter.

Most people saw this only when PKG_PATH was set to empty in certain
versions of bsd.pkg.mk, but this was later reverted. So you shouldn't
see this with the _latest_ pkgsrc, even with the old pkg_info, unless
/usr/pkgsrc/packages doesn't exist.
