Hi,
I didn't update my pkgtools since a while. Now I installed NetBSD 4.0_RC1
and wanted to update them before starting to install things.
I went to /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install and did a "make update". This
used to update the pkgtools in /usr/sbin with the new ones.
However it installed the new files into /usr/pkg/sbin now, leaving those in
/usr/sbin untouched.
Did I miss something?
Due to the default settings for $PATH the old versions in /usr/sbin are
still the ones that are picked up. It doesn't seem like a good idea to
change $PATH to fix that. Also removing those binaries (including related
stuff like man pages, to get the right ones displayed) doesn't look good, a
later system update would reinstall them.
How can I get the updated files into /usr/sbin again?
