netbsd-1.3.3/i386
when trying to install a -current package, i was "told" that i needed
new package tools so i built new ones. now i can't complete the
install for other packages that i want to install. :(
pkg_create: can't open pkgdb: Inappropriate file type or format
waaaah!!! can someone tell me how to fix this please? or would i
just be better off re-unpacking the 1.3.3 pkg tools.
this is the thing about packages that "irks" me. it's too easy to
just make and make install something and i "lose touch" with what's
actually going on. /usr/local is my friend.
