>Description:

> From: "Stephen J. Roznowski" <sjr@home.net>
> Subject: pkg_info error?

> When I run "pkg_info -aI", I get the following error:
>     pkg_info: can't change directory to '/var/db/pkg/.mkversion'!

The following patch fixes this problem.  A better patch might be to
stat the files in the directory and only attempt a chdir on
directories.  I didn't do that as you might want to just have non-
directories return the error and stating all the files would probably
take more time to run in which case the following is fine.

>How-To-Repeat:

pkg_info -aI
