 I've tried to reproduce this problem but wasn't able to. The latest package
 tools built from the "netbsd-3" work fine for me on two different
 NetBSD 3.0_RC3 systems. This includes using "pkg_chk -u" which built
 some package from sources and installed some binary packages without
 problems. I've also run "pkg_admin rebuild" which worked fine.
 
 From the evidence that Martin sent me privately it looks that it might
 be a problem in the version of "pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.mk" he is using.
 But there is no evidence supporting problems within the package tools.
 The error message about the "standalone-tcsh" was caused by a corrupt
 "+CONTENTS" file in "/var/db/pkg".
 
 	Kind regards
