I haven't made the change yet.

OK, something is broken somewhere though.

I am building in a chroot jail after removing every single package and
building everything from scratch.  There is nothing left over from
previoius builds.  The latest perl and every other package was
installed fresh from current pkgsrc.  Still, I have intltool installed
without p5-XML-Parser.

I followed the chain that you mentioned and it seems to be correct so I
am at a loss as to how I arrived at this situation.  I do remember
going through this once before when I was too busy to follow up.  I'm
still too busy but I didn't want to see something like this left
dangling in our tree.

Anyway, I won't commit anything until this is cleared up.
