Buchanan" X-Sender: brian@smarter.than.nu To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: sysinstall/XFree86 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I haven't seen it on the list recently, so here goes... If one installs the XFree86 distribution when using sysinstall to install 3.0-BETA, the package installation is not recorded, causing attempts to install X11-dependant packages to fail or at least complain (I forget which). Someone in my building had this problem recently, and I found that after the main distributions were installed, /var/db/pkg/XFree86-3.3.2 was missing. Creating it from the emergency holographic shell resolved the problem. -- Brian Buchanan brian@smarter.than.nu brian@soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
