I suggest having three extra file 00PACKAGENOTFOUND 00CATALOGNOTFOUND 00MOTD If a package could not be found the first is tried to be download and displayed. If it is not there nothing happens. If a catalog could not be found the second is displayed. The third is tried and displayed on every update (-U). > How about pkg-get? How does that work if download don't work?
