With that out of the way, I have another question. On the same machine mentioned above, the pkg delete command aborts with (for example): root@ubm:/usr/ports/www/mod_scgi# pkg delete xmms Assertion failed: (pkg != NULL), function pkg_get2, file pkg.c, line 267. Child process pid=9220 terminated abnormally by signal: 6 I know I'm running the alpha branch of pkg, so if there is anything I can help with debugging that, let me know. Thanks, Marc
