X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: pkg_add chokes, returns with -1 when run from /stand/sysinstall :-0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk 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.
