System: NetBSD vijver 1.3.3 NetBSD 1.3.3 (KLEI) #5: Thu Apr 29 16:17:37 CEST 1999 \
rhialto@vijver:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KLEI i386


> Description:
	
	I was installing packages, with the 'distfiles' directory containing
	symlinks to distfiles on a cd-rom.

	When installing packages with source in .bz2 files (such
	as kde), bzcat refused to decompress the archives.

> How-To-Repeat:
	See Description.
> Fix:
	
	This patches the install system, but maybe bzip2 should be
	changed instead; it explictily does an lstat which is sometimes
	appropriate and sometimes not.
