If you're using 5.0-DP1, you should really be using the 5.0-DP1 packages: many newer packages will not work properly since they were built for a newer version of 5.0-CURRENT, and as you've noticed 5.0-DP1's pkg_add -r can't handle fetching .tbz packages (this support came later). kris [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9lKHkWry0BWjoQKURAoFBAKDRmzu2jQjuBJ2/rDw9qN+ZyRbYAQCfc4d6 b2Vx2emgBk19n82UDbt3QXU= =4Qhi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
