FreeBSD base4.oar.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Wed Mar 27 14:47:36 EST 2002     maf@base4.oar.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/BASE4  i386

>Description:
pkg_add fails when the package is delivered via stdin (pkg_add -).  This
appears to have been triggered by gnu/30876, but the problem seems to
be in pkg_add itself.  sysinstall can no longer install packages.
>How-To-Repeat:
Before the buffer.c patch to tar in gnu/30876:
char:/tmp# pkg_add - < zoo-2.10.1.tgz   

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: child returned status 1
The package is successfully installed though.

After the buffer.c patch:

char:/tmp# pkg_add - < zoo-2.10.1.tgz   

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: child returned status 1
pkg_add: tar extract of - failed!
pkg_add: unable to extract `-'!
