Yes, I'd noticed this too - only today. It appears the Mk file has been changed to use the -O option of pkg_info That is a new option, that wasn't added to pkg_info on a release version until FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE So someone will either have to regress it, or you'll need to upgrade to freebsd 4.8, or patch pkg_info (/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/info) Work Around ~~~~~~~~~~~ Define the environment variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER to anything from the command line before running the install, it will work (as it will skip the part that checks if the port is already installed.) Fix ~~~ For my machine on 4.4 I needed to download and replace /usr/share/Mk/* and then /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/* from the freebsd 4.8 sources. Your /usr/share/Mk may be recent enough.. I don't know. from there, cd to /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install and make make install make clean Alternatively, download my binaries, made from 4.8-release sources. De-tar the bzipped archive, and move the files from usr.sbin into /usr/sbin and the files from usr.share.man.man1 into /usr/share/man/man1 - being careful to preserve file permissions. http://www.bishopston.com/jamie/pkg_install/pkg_install_binaries_4.8.tar.bz2 (approx 90K) Cheers, Jamie
