  Modified:    usr.bin/ar  misc.c
  Log:
  Change ar's internal error routine to call err() instead of errx()
  so that when ar has a problem (like trying to update a read-only
  archive), you get a message like:
  
  ar: xyzzy.a: Permission denined
  
  instead of:
  
  ar: xyzzy.a
  
  Which doesn't really give the user any indication that the operation
  really did fail.
  
  This closes PR# 170.
