>Description:
The distfiles for the "compat80" package are missing from all
distfile sources.  Namely, the subdirectory "20191014" is missing
and that is where pkgsrc expects to find the distfiles:

An excerpt of 'lintpkgsrc -u':

>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to fetch dependencies for anything that requires "compat80".
>Fix:
There is a later "compat80-*" in another subdirectory:

  pub/pkgsrc/distfiles/LOCAL_PORTS/20200807/

but using it will required updating the distinfo for the correct
checksum values.

If the intent is to move to "compat90", then these files (and only
"compat90-*" files) are in the

  pub/pkgsrc/distfiles/LOCAL_PORTS/20211116/

subdirectory.

 Well, yes and no.

 I may very well have been the one who last updated the package.

 However, I cannot claim to be the original author of the package.

 > [...], could you please take a look?

 When I fiddled with it the last time I found it a little
 difficult to figure out how to align the various bits to make it
 possible to perform the update.  Sadly, I did not improve that
 particular aspect by creating a suitable README.updating file or
 anything like that.

 I also see in the CVS log that the package is accused of being
 cursed, and that bad things can happen if it's un-installed after
 having been installed.  I vaguely recall that was something I
 thought about when I did the previous update, e.g. when creating
 revision 1.3 of

   emulators/compat_netbsd/INSTALL.ELF

 However, in hindsight, whether that actually cured the curse (it
 would certainly not cure it for already-installed instances) I
 cannot now claim with any amount of certainty.  Possibly it
 didn't.

 It is evident to me that this package and documentation of "how
 to update" and the overall "an overview of this is what the
 update procedure does" needs to be tackled first, and we can then
 hopefully both make it easier for others to perform the update,
 and make it easier to properly fix the "curse" as well.

 That said, I have found my local copy of the computed distfiles
 which used to live in the 20191014/ subdirectory (the checksums
 seem to match with what's in the existing distinfo), and I'm able
 to upload them again to "un-break" the immediate breakage of this
 package.  That may be the shortest path to fixing the immediate
 problem, and then we can tackle the ones which require more
 scrutiny and discussion as a separate thing.

 That may be true in pkgsrc-HEAD, but as of pkgsrc-2025Q4, 'make
 show-all-depends' in ".../pkgsrc/lang/rust" on i386 produces:

 Note the "compat80" entry under TOOL_DEPENDS.  So, anyone building
 "lang/rust" from source(-ish, due to binary bootstrap kit) is going
 to run into trouble if they don't already have "compat80" installed.

 Also "pkg_info -N rust" in my recently-built package using pkgsrc-2025Q4
 produces:

 $ pkg_info -N rust

 Yes. My commit was to HEAD. (All commits originate there before
 possibly being applied to a branch. PRs are not just for the reporter,
 they're also for developers to track the state of things, once filed.)

 This is obvious, yes. Which is why there's other activity on this
 ticket, and why I noted my commit is related to this ticket and another
 one (duplicate) but doesn't resolve them. (This is also why I found 
 these
 tickets in the first place, as it also happened to me earlier this 
 week.)

 Yes, you're saying the same thing here twice.
