I recently added the following to my ~/.cshrc file to simplify using
'pkg_add':

# setenv PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/sparc/All/"

This works well with 'pkg_add', however, 'pkg_info' seems to want to use it
for its default pkg DB path too. I tried adding 'setenv
PKG_DIRDB="/var/pkg/db/" to ~/.cshrc , as well as adding "/var/db/pkg;" to
the PKG_PATH line (before the "ftp...) previously mentioned but 'pkg_info'
still looks at the ftp site.

Is this a bug?
