Problem using pkgsrc on NetBSD 3.0

Hello.  For several years, under previous versions of NetBSD
on i386, I used
pkgsrc via sup.  A few weeks ago, I cleaned out all my
package files and
switched over to cvs.  Last week, I updated, and since then,
all attempts to
rebuild packages fail with an error message about a missing
file:

make: "../../mk/../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk" line 3779:
Could not find
../../mk/plist/bsd.plist.mk

I checked my /usr/pkgsrc/mk directory, and there is no such
file
(bsd.plist.mk).  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dominic Jones

I remember having a similar problem when I unpacked a few
pkgsrc 
tarballs a month or two ago.  What's weird is a CVS checkout
of pkgsrc 
fixed the problem.  What cvs commands did you run to check
out the tree?

Make sure you use -d when running cvs update. Without -d,
new directories
won't be created.
