So arguably x86_64 is preferred anyway -- even if x86_64 appears only on the amd64 port! For your info, on ftp.netbsd.org, in /pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD, doing ls -l (and skipping the other lines) one gets: lrwxrwxr-x 1 joerg netbsd 6 May 28 2008 amd64 -> x86_64 drwxrwxr-x 16 pkgmastr netbsd 1024 May 15 02:57 x86_64 I can confirm the bad behavior. Fetching wget http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/9.0/All/pkg_summary.bz2 wget http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/9.0/All/pkg_summary.bz2 I get the following: (.1 is 2nd fetch): -rw-r--r-- 1 gdt users 3270343 May 17 16:03 pkg_summary.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 gdt users 3258465 May 21 10:54 pkg_summary.bz2.1
