>Number: 130993 >Category: bin >Synopsis: pkg_add -n falsely reports present local packages as missing >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Jan 25 23:50:01 UTC 2009 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Manolis Kiagias >Release: 7.1-RELEASE >Organization: >Environment: FreeBSD aquarius.dyndns.org 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 14:37:25 UTC 2009 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 >Description: Using -n to perform a "dry run" test installing packages from i.e. a local directory does not yield the expected results. Example: Assume a package with all its dependencies is stored in a local directory. Then: pkg_add -n package-x.y_z.tbz will report: Package dependency package1-x.y_z for package-x.y_z.tbz not found! Package dependency package2-x.y_z for package-x.y_z.tbz not found! and so on, while package1, package2 etc are also present in the same directory. In fact, pkg_add package-x.y_z.tbz would work without any problems, using the packages reported as missing by -n >How-To-Repeat: Using ports, build any package with dependencies on a FreeBSD system. Then create a binary package for it, using pkg_create -Rb pkg_create -Rb package_name-x.y_z Copy the resulting package files to another machine. Then run: pkg_add -n package_name-x.y_z.tbz Watch -n reporting the present dependencies as missing Running without -n will install the packages normally. The above behaviour does not seem to be affected by PKG_PATH values >Fix: None. The packages can still be installed by a plain pkg_add, but using -n can lead to misleading results. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
