Installing packages from ftp2.freebsd.org sometimes fails for specific packages -- xemacs in this case. This may just be a result of this being a SNAP. Also, the sysinstall.debug output is weird (lots of "failure"'s?) 2. The real thing is this. The man page search order finds all of the c programming calls after the TCL ones, so "man bind" returns TCL's bind, not the syscall bind. This is inconvenient if one is a C programmer not a TCL programmer. I assume I can fix this with /etc/manpath.config, but this doesn't seem like the right default setting? Thanks, Robert Watson
