>Environment:

	It says 2.2-RELEASE but this machine is actually RELENG_2_2.

>Description:

	After creating a package with pkg_create -D, pkg_add fails with
	"Cannot open display file `+DISPLAY'." and it doesn't display
	the file.  Since the ports tree relies on this feature to 
	show license files and other legal information, this is
	potentially a very serious problem.
