I tried to build expat from ports but after make i got.

I was weird for me because of
I did not found expat on the system and on the packages.
I tried to find something via google and get link to the article on
upgrade from
OpenBSD 4.1 to OpenBSD 4.2. Where was noticed that expat now is located
in xbase42.tgz packages which was in recommended section.
I think that such behavior of the installer could be treated like a
bug and package
xbase42 should be moved to required section or at least in the
installation documents
should be described such trouble.
Hello.
Making libexpat part of xbase42.tgz was perhaps an error in judgment.
It has been moved to the base system in -current and this will be
reflected in the next release.
I think building of ports isn't supported without *all* installation
packages installed anyway, so this isn't technically a bug.
This is mentioned numerous places, such as in the docs here:
http://openbsd.org/faq/upgrade42.html
Cheers!
