System: NetBSD jacaranda.noi.kre.to 10.99.14 NetBSD 10.99.14 (JACARANDA:1.1-20250525) #200: Sun May 25 10:04:09 +07 2025 kre@jacaranda.noi.kre.to:/usr/obj/testing/kernels/amd64/JACARANDA amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
	The MESSAGE file for audio/rip (and for those who doubt, note:
	people do actually see those things) says:

	To actually use rip, [...]
	and install at least one of the following [...]

and then lists

	audio/gogo

as one of the possible choices.   That no longer seems to exist.

Since the MESSAGE file seems to data from late 2007, it is perhaps
surprising that all the others mentioned still do!

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd .../pkgsrc/audio/rip
	make package-install

Actually read the MESSAGE file when presented;  then go and make
sure that all of what it suggests are installed (even if it only
requires one from each caregory), only to find there is no audio/gogo
(whatever that was, and no, I don't need to be told) to install.

>Fix:
	Remove that line from the MESSAGE file, or replace it
	with something else, if there are newer alternatives.

	Don't just remove the entire MESSAGE, it contains useful
	information.
