Two things about pkg_add: 1) I can't get it to run at all on my machine. I am running SNAP-950412 with a custom kernel and not much else. # pkg_add -v maplay-1.2.tgz Projected package size: 89640 bytes, free temp space: 91331584 bytes extract: Package name is maplay-1.2 extract: CWD to /usr/local extract: /usr/local/bin/maplay extract: CWD to . Running mtree for maplay-1.2.. mtree -u -f +MTREE_DIRS -d -e -p /usr/local usage: mtree [-cdeinrUux] [-f spec] [-K key] [-k key] [-p path] [-s seed] Error status 1 from mtree. (CWD to /usr/local) Delete: /usr/local/bin/maplay (CWD to .) 1 package addition(s) failed. 2) If I run pkg_add without -v, the error message doesn't make it clear that it actually removed the package: # pkg_add maplay-1.2.tgz usage: mtree [-cdeinrUux] [-f spec] [-K key] [-k key] [-p path] [-s seed] Error status 1 from mtree. And about pkg_maint: it doesn't handle this kind of error from pkg_add very well... I'm sure this is all caused by something odd on my system; I can't imagine what, though. Bill
