Comment(by drkirkby):

 Leif,

 I'd agree the OpenBSD code is probably wrong, though with nobody at all
 working on an OpenBSD port to my knowledge, I don't know how we are going
 to find out. But I'm willing to change that. To my knowledge, only FreeBSD
 is being worked on by Peter, with nobody working on NetBSD, OpenBSD or any
 other *BSD.

 With the possible exception of that, I don't believe my changes have
 introduced any new problems. I simply don't have time to go though another
 ticket like #9603, where there were endless changes to {{{spkg-install}}}
 which took 6 weeks.

 Many of those proposed will need extensive testing, which I don't have
 time for. As I remarked above:

 ''If others want to clean it up further, feel free, but I don't want to
 spend a lot of time on this. It is not even causing any problems on any
 systems I'm using.''

 I'd rather concentrate my time on sorting out #9040 and #9840. I suggest
 you create another ticket to clean this up if you feel it needs it. Sorry,
 but I just don't want another ticket like #9603!

 I've got no idea of the situation with OpenSUSE

 Dave
