pkg_add failure on 4.6.2
I just installed 4.6.2, and I wanted to install cvsup. So I brought the cvsup-16-1f.tbz from ftp.freebsd.org, and did a 'pkg_add cvsup-16-1f.tbz', but whenever I run pkg_add, it core dumps. How can I redirect the error message from pkg_add to a file, and how do I attache files with 'mail', so I can send you some more info on this? -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- In the beginning the Universe was created.

Your system doesn't recognize the new format and that is why pkg_add is dying. They have reverted to the old format but that will take a while. I would grab 1e from http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/ and then make and add the current port. Version 1f doesn't take long to build.

Does pkg_add not reconize the new format, or? Even if I try to run pkg_add without any parameters, it still dies, is it pkg_add that is broken? What do you mean with 1e and 1f? I'm not into this cvsup thing, I just need it to update my ports tree. Should I get the source and build it, and if so, where should I place the source prior to build? Will this fix my problem, or is it an entire new problem? -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

The pkg_add on your system does not recognize the new compression scheme. Find a ...1f.tgz that you can download and pkg_add it.

As said, pkg_add even core dumps if I just run pkg_add without specifying any file it should add, it's like my pkg_add is broken or something. I have no idea what to look after in the dump file, but it complains about some bus failure or something. If only I knew how to redirect the error message to 'mail', then I could mail it to my wondoze box, and then mail the error message to this list. Maybe that could help me to figure out what the problem is :) -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- First we thought the PC was a calculator.

Re: pkg_add failure on 4.6.2
Hi Kris et al, I just installed 4.6.2, and I wanted to install cvsup. So I brought the cvsup-16-1f.tbz from ftp.freebsd.org, and did a 'pkg_add cvsup-16-1f.tbz', but whenever I run pkg_add, it core dumps. You should use the 4.6.2-RELEASE packages with 4.6.2; they're in .tgz format. Just a note about this. The remote fetching feature (-r option) is broken in pkg_add(1) as distributed with 4.6.2-RELEASE. It needs to be upgraded to the version tagged RELENG_4_6. Otherwise, packages will download from the stable branch. HTH To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
