For anyone with backslashed +COMMENT files in /var/db/pkg, the following script can be used to clean them up. You could also wait until 5.1-RELEASE comes out, I suppose. #!/bin/tcsh cd /var/db/pkg foreach dir (`/bin/ls|/usr/bin/grep -v pkgdb.db`) echo $dir; cd $dir; /bin/ls -l +COMMENT /usr/bin/sed 's/\\//g' +COMMENT > pkg-descr /bin/mv pkg-descr +COMMENT cd /var/db/pkg end exit On 2003.05.29 05:57, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Thu, May 29, 2003 at 12:15:20AM +0000, jimd_NOSPAM@siu.edu wrote: > > Instead of simple text lines, pkg_info is returning what looks like > > "escaped words" after clean install of 5.1-BETA2: > > Already fixed, thanks. > > Kris >
