To: stable@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 17:15:48 +1030 (CST) Content-Type: text Content-Length: 963 Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Ok, I just upgraded (make reinstall) a 2.0.5 installation to -stable and I'm seeing the pkg_add problem : /mnt is the 2.0.5 CD, NFS mounted from another system. # pkg_add -v mm-2.7.tgz Requested space 573595 bytes, free space : 32101376 bytes in /var/instmp.000216 tar: can't open archive ./mm-2.7.tgz : No such file or directory tar: child returned status 3 tar: +CONTENTS not found in archive Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package? 1 package addition(s) failed. If I give an explicit path to pkg_add, it works. It looks like a stray chdir() to me. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
