Vidal" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: URGENT: error code 1 from pkg_add(1) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk hello everyone! i recently upgraded my kernel to 2.2.5-STABLE and decided to re-install some stuff from the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD. i used `/stand/sysinstall' to add some packages over FTP (the sysinstall program came from freebsd.org which i downloaded because of the buggy one that was shipped with 2.2.2-RELEASE). now, the problem is, whenever i try to install a package, it always gives me an `error code 1' message and does not install the package! it also tells me to check the debug screen for more info but i could not find the debug screen since i'm using ttys 0-5 (alt-F1 --> alt-F6). what could possibly be wrong with the installation procedure? or is it the `pkg_add' program? TIA! p.s. i'm not on the list :) --- u s l s N E T university of st. la salle, bacolod city, philippines . . . . . . . PGP key at ftp://ftp.usls.edu/pub/pgpkeys/francis.pgp francis vidal tel. nos.
