I can confirm this problem with NetBSD 5.0.1 on a i386 machine: i wait a
lot of time - several minutes - and then nothing is installed.
I have this problem only with packages with various dependencies and I
can also confirm that this problem does *not* occur with a local
PKG_PATH (e.g. /usr/pkgsrc/packages)

I use as a "workaround" pkgtools/pkgin. I'm also more comfortable with
it.


Ciao, Leonardo
