Re: I just had a totally wonderful experience on the NetBSD channel on freenode

I just turned on verbosity and I see that it goes through with the installation 
of the package and holds at the ftp close:

Running install with POST-INSTALL for vsftpd-2.0.4nb1.
vsftpd-2.0.4nb1: /usr/pkg/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf already exists
===========================================================================
The following files should be created for vsftpd-2.0.4nb1:

        /etc/rc.d/vsftpd (m=0755)
            [/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/vsftpd]

===========================================================================
Attempting to record package into /var/db/pkg/vsftpd-2.0.4nb1.
Package vsftpd-2.0.4nb1 registered in /var/db/pkg/vsftpd-2.0.4nb1

ftp> close

So if I do a control-c, it seems as if the process aborts <--(my assumption); I 
then check the paths mentioned above and everything is there.

this is from netstat:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
tcp        0      0  *.21                   *.*                    LISTEN

lsof result:
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
vsftpd  4919 root    3u  IPv4 0xc0c8e498      0t0  TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)

Incidentally, I had to install lsof which was subject to the same problem.  
While it was holding, at another terminal, I executed pkg_info and it gave me 
the info about the pkg but as soon as I control-c'ed the installation I 
couldn't get the info.  So I guess the install process does something after the 
ftp session and may interpret the interruption as a failure.  I tried do a 
pkg_delete but got this:
-bash-3.2# pkg_delete lsof
pkg_delete: package 'lsof' not installed

So yes I do have these packages and can use them now but when I want to remove 
them I will probably have to do that manually.

By the way is there a manifest of some sort where I can find out where a 
package puts files?

Anyway that's what I've gathered.  The system is being natted and then is 
behind a router that is not within my control.
