Hm? I've seen lots of responses explaining the problem and multiple solutions (upgrade system to 4.7 or later, upgrade pkg_* tools). You are running an old version of FreeBSD which the ports tree no longer supports (although someone mentioned they were looking at a workaround, I think). > It has been suggested by some that you could copy pkg_info from > some newer version.

Building and installing in /usr/src/pkg_install installs pkg_add, pkg_check, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_sign, and pkg_version. > I tried both, with no luck. You sure? Are you failing with this error: ===> Checking if portd/portname already installed *** Error code 1 This is almost certainly caused by an old pkg_info command that does not understand -O. To disprove me: cd /usr/ports/devel/portlint ktrace -di make install kdump | tail -60 and let us see those 60 lines, plus the output of "pkg_info -O" and "ident /usr/sbin/pkg_info | grep info" -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
