FreeBSD patch for dpkg?

[Fred <fred@worldofpain.net>]

Hi All,

I am trying to compile dpkg on FreeBSD 4.6.2 so that I can get the ball
rolling so to speak. From what I have read on the archives I need to get a
patch for dpkg because the libc for NetBSD at least (and presumably
FreeBSD) does not support "obstack". Where can I get this patch? I have
not found a FreeBSD one.

Also, is the strategy for Debian BSD to use the native libc for
Free/NetBSD? Or is glibc eventually gonna be used leaving only the BSD
kernel and maybe other BSD utils at users discretion?

Sorry if these are known issues.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers, Fred.
