 	Hello,
 
 there are more problems concerning the "pdksh" bootstrap. Even if you
 fix all the work directory references in the installed package and
 use "bmake tarup" to create a working binary package you can still
 not use "pkg_add -u" on it.
 
 "pkg_add" will happily deinstall the old package and then fail to
 install the new one because the shell references in the install
 script isn't present. You have to use something like
 "cp -p /bin/ksh /usr/pkg/bin/pdksh" followed by "pkg_add -u pkdsh"
 to recover from that situation.
 
 	Kind regards
