As I now have a working dports installation (and KDE runs MUCH faster than it did in pkgsrc), I'm going to try to do this. First I ran "pkg add dejagnu" and it asked me if I meant "pkg install dejagnu". So I did that. I got a bunch of messages ending with pkg: Skipping malformed dependency docbook-xml pkg: Skipping malformed dependency docbook pkg: package misc/kenny is built for dragonfly:3.8:* arch, and local arch is dragonfly:3.8:x86:64 Incremental update completed, 0 packages processed: 20856 packages updated, 31 removed and 44 added. pkg: No digest falling back on legacy catalog format pkg: http://mirror- master.dragonflybsd.org/dports/dragonfly:3.8:x86:64/LATEST/repo.txz: Not Found Thinking that maybe the DNS is broken, I do this: # host mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org host: not found "pkg search host" returns packages with "host" in their name, which isn't what I want. How do I find which package contains the host command? I replaced 192.168.7.10 (leopard's address when it's behind zyxomma) with leopard's IPv6 address in /etc/resolv.conf and verify on caracal that querying leopard on IPv6 works; I still can't get the txz file. The other address in resolv.conf is apparently the nameserver on the satellite modem. IPv4 is working properly, so that should work. Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre.
