Ack! What bad timing.  I just tried to upgrade guile since I didn't
have a whole lot better to do at the moment.  This went and upgraded
readline and libtool for me, but in the process (and without any
warning) it nuked PostgreSQL.  I presume PGSQL needs readline...

Anyway, I think we could improve the package system if it did a little
more than this:

     ===> Deinstalling for readline-4.1
     ===> Becoming root@bullbox.bullers.net to deinstall readline-4.1.
     Password:
     Running PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg /usr/sbin/pkg_delete -r readline-4.0
     pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
     incorrectly specified?)
     ===========================================================================
     If you won't be using postgresql-7.0.2 any longer, you may want to
     remove the `pgsql' user and the following directories:
     
             /usr/pkg/pgsql
     ===========================================================================
     ===> Validating dependencies for readline-4.1
     => readline-4.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
     => Attempting to fetch readline-4.1.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/readli

It probably wouldn't be such a big deal, (provided 7.1.1 can read
all my 7.0.2 databases without a dump/reload) but the last time I
ran cvs update in /usr/pkgsrc must have been at a bad time, because
now I get this:

     jon@bullbox[759]$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql ; make install
     ===> Validating dependencies for postgresql-7.1.1
     "Makefile", line 4: Could not find ../../databases/postgresql/Makefile.getopt
     Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
     *** Error code 1
     
     Stop.
     ===> postgresql-7.1.1 cannot build necessary dependencies.
     *** Error code 1
     
     Stop.
     *** Error code 1
     
     Stop.

So I guess I'm now really hosed until cvs.netbsd.org is reachable again.
