>Synopsis: pkg_add does not stop if dependencies are missing
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: low

>State: open

>Arrival-Date: Fri Jul 7 16:10:01 1995
>Originator: John Polstra

>Release: FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950603 i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE, nothing unusual.
>Description:
If pkg_add finds that some dependencies are missing, it reports
them, but then it proceeds to try to install the package. That
results in a partial, non-working installation of the package.
The manual page says that pkg_add should halt under these
circumstances, unless the "-f" option has been supplied on the
command line.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run "pkg_add some-package" where "some-package" is any package
that depends on one or more other packages which have not been
installed on the system.
