Pkgutil will fail without "injury". I see two cases, you have an up to date catalog, then the actual file fetching will fail and pkgutil aborts. Otherwise, the catalog fetching will fail and pkgutil aborts. In both cases no changes are made to your system. How about pkg-get? How does that work if download don't work? Is it possible that it removes packages first, tries to download new ones, fails and you end up without some packages you had? I assume lots of users of stable are still on pkg-get. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
