	FreeBSD rocky.ga-telecom.net 3.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan  6 20:05:50 CET 1999     root@rocky.ga-telecom.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/ROCKY  i386

>Description:

	The pre-compiled package ``knews-1.0b.0.tgz'' has a dependency
	on and requires to be installed a package named
	``mp-letter-3.0.1'', but there is neither a package nor a port
	``mp-letter-3.0.1''.

>How-To-Repeat:

	pkg_add -v knews-1.0b.0.tgz

>Fix:
	
	short term fix:

	mkdir /var/db/pkg/mp-letter-3.0.1

	will create a fake package ``mp-letter-3.0.1'', so pkg_add(1)
	stops bitching.

	long term fix:

	Resolve dependency in ``knews-1.0b.0.tgz''.
