pkg_add -r doesn't process sub dependencies?
Seems if you have package X which depends on package Y which depends on package Z then pkg_add -r X will always fail unless you first :- 1. pkg_add -r Y 2. pkg_add -r Z The failure will be:- pkg_add: could not find package Z ! This happens even though Z exists in the remote source package directory. Surely I've missed something very basic here and pkg_add isn't that broken?

I just submitted a patch on the -STABLE list for this problem. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

- Original Message - From: walt [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are using RELENG_7, pkg_add is looking in the wrong place on the remote server for packages. I just submitted a patch on the -STABLE list for this problem. I'm actually using PACKAGESITE which is meant to bypass all path calculations but it simply doesn't. I've now found PKG_ADD_BASE which seems to fix this issue but is not documented anywhere. I had to dig around in the code to find it, where its commented as:- /* Special tip that sysinstall left for us */ It seems really strange that the default behaviour of pkg_add -r can't deal with sub dependencies properly without this undocumented feature.
