Hi all, For the last couple of months, I've seen the following issue on my -CURRENT laptop: rho# pkg_add -r libgtkhtml fast-user-switch-applet deskbar-applet Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-current/Latest/ libgtkhtml.tbz... Done. Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-current/Latest/ fast-user-switch-applet.tbz...pkg_add: fatal error during execution: getcwd rho# I've determined that the failing getcwd is the one on line 126 of src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/lib/pen.c. I've never seen it fail when trying to install a single package at a time, only multiple. Running the pkg_add command again immediately will usually work, or fail later on a different package. This started after an upgrade from early April to late September HEAD, but due to various other changes, I was unable to revert to the April kernel to test. I cannot recreate this on any other machine. My laptop is a Core 2 Duo, however I can recreate the issue with a non-SMP kernel. I've forced an fsck of all filesystems, with no difference. There's plenty of disk space left. I've even deleted all packages and cleared out /usr/local but still see the problem? Any suggestions? Can anyone else recreate this? As I first saw this just before RELENG-7 was branched, I'm concerned that it may also affect that branch. Gavin
