Actually the above is correct. It was added to show what package name is 
triggering the error (you can see a couple words later). It means that the 
buildlink3.mk says a package is required but the package doesn't 
have the buildlinking setup for it. No packages in pkgsrc should be like 
that. But note that the error came from the "work-in-progress" 
collection. I will have to look at that later (as it was my 
"work-in-progress" package).

Using pkgsrc-stable branch is a good idea.
