Hello! Upon attempts to use 'pkg_add' utility, I get a string of error messages such as the following: pkg_add: package wmtime-1.0b2 has no origin recorded pkg_add: package wterm-6.2.7a1 has no origin recorded It would be only a curiosity were it not for the fact that pkg_add *fails* to add the requested package -- it returns a '1'. So I am very curious about two things: 1) The methodology by which I can correct this error condition. (Most important) 2) Theories about what causes this condition. (Least important) Thank you in advance for any advice, John +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "I can't believe I'm back on Mars.
