The following reply was made to PR misc/12859; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nick Hibma <nick.hibma@jrc.it> To: grega@ci.gilbert.az.us Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: misc/12859: Problem installing packages Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 10:34:51 +0200 (MET DST) If I remember correctly there was a problem with the packages installation on 3.2-STABLE. Dependencies of packages were spread over the various CD"s instead of keeping them all on one disk. Try the following: Copy the packages you want to install to the harddisk, to for example /usr/tmp . Type pkg_add /usr/tmp/<name of package> Whenever it complains about not being able to find a package, copy that one there as well from one of the CD's. This should resolve all your dependencies. On the CD's you can find the package files on CD 1: packages/All CD 3: packages/All If this does not work for you, let me know and I will try to be more precise.
