It appears those links made the same assumption as did @alnja8a in the sibling comment: my concern is not, at this moment, bugs in
pkgsrc itself rather my concern is with tracking who is working on fixing (in our example at hand) awscli-v2
Now, maybe if I go trawling through mailing lists or (shudder) IRC I can find out what the status is, but that's beyond my level of energy expenditure for some niche packaging system
