Don't run it in a directory already in use.

cd /usr/pkgsrc # or wherever you keep it
mkdir -p NEW/ucarp
cd NEW/ucarp
url2pkg http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/ucarp/ucarp-1.2.tar.gz

Anyways, it doesn't not make sense to create a new package from scratch 
when it already exists.

Just simply modify the existing Makefile to use the newer version. And run 
"bmake makesum".
