'make distribute' is not a normal part of the build (it's not part of
buildworld or installworld).  Both mergemaster and etcupdate only run it
after an installworld has been performed, in which case an up-to-date
services_mkdb should already be installed.

Bryan, what are you running 'make distribute' for?  Is this to populate
a new jail from a world build?
