Recently I’ve decided to use Mozilla Seamonkey as a default browser, because
- It reminds me about that good-old-days;
- I find it less bloated and slow, than today’s mainstream Firefox and Chromium (even if Seamonkey has its own mail client, irc client, and so on).
I am running NetBSD-current (6.99.19) on amd64. The build invoked with
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/seamonkey
$ make install clean
went fine, however there was an issue on the installation stage:
===> Building binary package for seamonkey-2.17
=> Creating binary package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/seamonkey-2.17.tgz
pkg_create: can't stat

Looks like it is not a pkgsrc issue, since, as Google search results have shown, the same occurs on GNU/Linux systems. To fix it, simply do
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/seamonkey
$ cp work/comm-release/mozilla/dist/xpi-stage/inspector/install.rdf \
work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/seamonkey/extensions/inspector\@mozilla.org/
$ cp -rv work/comm-release/mozilla/dist/xpi-stage/inspector/defaults/ \
work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/seamonkey/extensions/inspector\@mozilla.org/
And then invoke make install again.
