make configure in devel/cvs reports:

checking for GSSAPI... no
./configure.lineno: 9897: Syntax error: "!" unexpected
*** Error code 2

I am not sure about that 9897 reference. Because no "!" there, but several
nearby.

I don't know where the issue is. It may be related to the big patch
cvs-1.11.6-v6-20030623.diff.gz.

This is under BSD/OS 4.3.1; the sh doesn't work good enough for pkgsrc.
(So I use SH as bash.)

My fix was to do:

+REPLACE_INTERPRETER+=  sh
+_REPLACE.sh.old=       .*/bin/sh
+_REPLACE.sh.new=       ${SH}
+_REPLACE_FILES.sh=     configure


What about a system-wide way to handle this?

What do others do on systems with bad /bin/sh?

Or is it rare and only a problem for a few packages?

May I commit the above fix? (I aske here, since tech-pkg is the
MAINTAINER for devel/cvs.)

Or does someone know what the real problem with
 Syntax error: "!" unexpected
is?

Thanks,
