Nope, 4.0.  That is the whole reason I've migrated to OpenPKG, I'm not 
all that interested in bring the box down unecessarily, the ports no 
longer work, but I want a package manager for keeping the packages up 
to date.  1.3 worked with zero problems.

This would be then what is causing openpkg 1.9 bootstrap to fail?  It 
would seem then that the 1.9 bootstrap would need an upgrade....as I 
don't have any odd configurations on my system that would have made my 
failure a special case.

I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.  I do have on 
remaining question before that though.  From what you are saying, I 
can go directly to CURRENT from 1.3 as long as I modify the bootstrap 
package, correct?  After I get the modified bootstrap installed, I am 
then going to want to install the standard bootstrap, correct?

Thanks,
Frank
