I think this behaviour is "intended": RC3 is the 3rd release candidate for 9.1-RELEASE. The candidate already reflects the correct access path for the binary installs via pkg_add. This path _will be_ correct as soon as 9.1 has been released. But as it it's not _yet_, the files are not present at the designated location. As 9.1-RC3 is "on the path" of 9-STABLE, your approach of accessing the STABLE-related access path looks valid. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
