I updated tiff in pkgsrc on October 16.

So far, the only thing broken is hylafax, which errors out at configure time not finding tiff2ps. I realize this is very well known, but I'm not clear on packager consensus about how to deal with current situation.

Hylafax's last change was in 2018:

HylaFAX+ is actively under development by Lee Howard many years ago

see -> https://hylafax.sourceforge.io

and the change in project libtiff-> 4.6.0 is fatal for the tiff tools used in HylaFAX+.
