setld uses depord (undocumented) to order subset dependencies.  depord
will silently delete any subsets that have the same prefix, version
number, and MTLOC in the *.ctrl file, such as PHIBASE220 and PHIRTO220:

    # cd /usr/etc/subsets
    # grep MTLOC PHI*.ctrl
    PHIBASE220.ctrl:MTLOC=1:1
    PHIRTO220.ctrl:MTLOC=1:1
    # /etc/stl/depord PHIBASE220 PHIRTO220
    # /etc/stl/depord PHIBASE220
    # /etc/stl/depord PHIRTO220
    #

This means you can't specify both PHIBASE220 and PHIRTO220 in the
~ris/clients/risdb file for a machine.  If you do, you'll find that
the "setld -l" menu listing what you can install will not have *any*
PHIGS subsets listed.  The kludge work-around is to edit PHIRTO220.ctrl
and change MTLOC=1:1 to MTLOC=1:2.
