I have tried to add linux_devel-0.2 (package) to my system twice, once
under /stand/sysinstall, and once manually. /stand/sysinstall reports
pkg_add returned with -1. The package got here, at least when I manually
ftp'd from wcarchive. This mystified me to say the least:
ninbsdbox: {5} pkg_add linux_devel-0.2.tgz
ninbsdbox: {6}
It doesn't install it, /var/db/pkg reports:
ninbsdbox: {6} ls /var/db/pkg | grep "linux"
linux_lib-2.4
ninbsdbox: {7}
Yes, I RTFM'd it, I was running as root, etc. More weird stuff:
ninbsdbox: {11} pkg_add -nv linux_devel-0.2.tgz
ninbsdbox: {12}
Nothing!
ninbsdbox: {12} ls -la |grep "linux"
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 10795081 Jan 28 07:17 linux_devel-0.2.tgz
I'm thinking this *should* work. pkg_info does. Help? Please?
