Thanks in advance. Just a guess: PC-BSD is using some HTML-based "reporting" mechanism to show pkg process results (in your case, presenting an error message). As PC-BSD is "desktop-oriented", this happens through a web browser. Maybe they are simply assuming Firefox to be present, and then use it to show the message, or they use what the environment variable $BROWSER points to. Maybe you can set or change $BROWSER to point to a different browser? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
