--- Comment #3 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
There are things we *could* do:

- We could have some infrastructure that linux_base hooks into, in order to
prevent the installation from starting rather than having it fail 75% of the
way through (or prompt the user to kldload linux)
- For this specific case (ld.so.cache) we could have a FreeBSD port of Linux
ldconfig
- We could queue post-install actions, and run them later

It may well be that requiring linux.ko to be loaded for pkg installation is=
 the
only reasonable approach. But we provide a terrible user experience by abor=
ting
the installation part way through, and will need to find some way to address
that.
