>Description:
Greetings,
pkg version appears to have difficulties determining the up-to-date
state of its ports if the current working directory has been removed.
Now, this may belong in the "if it hurts, then why do you do it"
category but I thought to report it nonetheless.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /tmp
mkdir foo
cd foo
rmdir ../foo
pkg version
This emits lots of port names with a question mark as status, as in:
pkg version
apr-1.4.6.1.4.1_3 ?
asciidoc-8.6.8_1 ?
autoconf-2.69 ?
...
whereas, after a cd /tmp, pkg version would show this instead:
apr-1.4.6.1.4.1_3 =
asciidoc-8.6.8_1 =
autoconf-2.69 =
...
>Fix:
If the current working directory must exist for pkg options, the pkg
program should arguably enforce that, and either report a pertinent
error, or perhaps just "chdir("/") to sidestep the issue.
