Thank you dillo, it works great.

Hello netbsd-docs, could someone add a section to chapter 18
of pkgsrc
guide
to explain how to deal with packages which have whitespaces
in their
filenames?
Explanations could go like this:
** Handling packages with filenames in the WRKSRC path **
If a package contains files with whitespaces in the path,
you must
move the files in the post-extract phase to remove the
whitespaces.
If you don't, pkgsrc won't be able to cd to the WRKSRC
directory
to compile the package. Here is an example:
WRKSRC=$/path_without_spaces
post-extract:
mv ${WRKDIR:Q}/"path with spaces"
${WRKDIR:Q}/path_without_spaces
