I suggest replacing /usr/sbin/pkg_* with /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_* after this succeeds to avoid further problems.
(I'm one of the "somple haqve trouble installing..." mentioned above!) Well, that's a bit of a problem for me. I'm building everything in a chroot to a freshly-created sandbox (from sysutils/mksandbox) and /usr is a read-only null-mount file-system. So I cannot copy the pkgsrc images to the "real" system. (And I'm not sure I would want to be able to affect the "real" system's /usr/bin/ from within the chroot sandbox.) +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul%whooppee.com@localhost | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette%netbsd.org@localhost | +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+
