I just upgraded from NB 4.0.1 to 5.0 today. I used pkg_add to install Firefox 3, but it hangs after displaying the install notice - some kind of poll() timeout. This is usually related to slow network, so I fetched the tarball and ran pkg_add on the local file. It hangs in the same place. If I break with ^C, the files are still installed and I can run firefox3 just fine, but the pkg database shows it as not installed. What's wrong, and what can I do?
The package system has changed quite a bit, you may need to pkg_admin rebuild ... or whatever it is :)
It appears to be related to the package database, or something close to it. I've always found that pkg_leaves generates errors whenever there is something up with the pkgdb side of things. OK it's not definitive :)
