Hi,

I was trying to install some packages, like bittorent or fetchmailconf and
got these errors:

[bernd@parresum]/home/source/pkgsrc/net/bittorrent> make
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in bittorrent-3.3
=> Checksum OK for BitTorrent-3.3.tar.gz.
===> Extracting for bittorrent-3.3

or

As you can see, I have python23-pth-2.3nb2 installed on my -current i386 system.

Going directly into x11/py-wxWindows and doing the make there didn't cause
the error messages and i could build it, but thats too easy for an fix :)
