It may not make a lot of difference, but I am now wondering how to recognize an "error reported by pkg_add" since this: > > pkg_add: command '/usr/local/bin/xmlcatmgr -sc /usr/local/share/sgml/catalog.ports add linuxdoc/catalog' failed looks like one to me, but apparently it isn't. > You should look into the xmlcatmgr documentation, or talk to the > port maintainer, to find out what that warning means and if it > is important. I didn't find anything pertinent in the (minimal) installed documentation. Just taking the xmlcatmgr message at face value, it looks as if some addition that linuxdoc intended to make in some catalog did not get done. Anything following that step in the postinstall script may also not have gotten done. My gut suspicion is that there is something wrong with the linuxdoc postinstall script -- or perhaps linuxdoc has an unstated dependency which I don't happen to have installed -- rather than something wrong with xmlcatmgr. PR time, I guess :(
