Re: pkg_add fails due to 'broken pipe'. Is my system in a consistent state?
From: Kevin Kinsey k...@daleco.biz Q2: Where on my hard drive are the bytes that tell pkg_add to use ftp.freebsd.org when downloading packages? You mean like inode number, which cylinder No, I am looking for a file name.

pkg_add fails due to 'broken pipe'. Is my system in a consistent state?
pkg_add -r gnome2 This command fails repeatedly with broken pipe because the FTP connection breaks. When it dies, I just re-run the command. I'm now on the fifth attempt. The gnome2 package is a meta package that installs many other packages. Q1: Is it bad for my FreeBSD system that I keep re-issuing the command pkg_add -r gnome2? I'm happy FreeBSD isn't responding already installed. Q2: Where on my hard drive are the bytes that tell pkg_add to use ftp.freebsd.org when downloading packages? Q3: I've been using this internet connection for years downloading packages for other OSes without trouble. Why is pkg_add/fetch having so much trouble?

I'm happy FreeBSD isn't responding already installed. Shouldn't be bad for the system, unless you get a lil' P.O.'ed (and hack it to bits, for example). Q2: Where on my hard drive are the bytes that tell pkg_add to use ftp.freebsd.org when downloading packages? You mean like inode number, which cylinder, or are you looking for /usr/ports/x11/gnome2/Makefile? (Which, as it's a meta-port, will probably just mean you need to look at about 120 other Makefiles). Q3: I've been using this internet connection for years downloading packages for other OSes without trouble. Why is pkg_add/fetch having so much trouble? Firewall? Try setting PASSIVE in your environment. Otherwise, I dunno. Any error message from fetch?
