Ryan) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: 2.0-950412-SNAP, pkg_add, mtree Date: Thu, 11 May 1995 23:48:59 LOCAL Organization: Iowa State University Lines: 20 Message-ID: <marcus.66.0026E140@ccelab.iastate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: dial52.ppp.iastate.edu X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4] I just upgraded to the 950412 SNAP and I seem to have a problem with pkg_add command. No matter what package I try to install, it says: Running mtree for [package] mtree -u -f +MTREE_DIRS -d -e -p /usr/local usage: mtree [-cdeinrUux] [-f spec] [-K key] [-k key] [-p path] [-s seed] Error status 1 from mtree. and dies. However, if I type the mtree command out and run it outside of the pkg_add command, it works fine. Is there a bug in pkg_add, or my system setup? I did make the mistake of hitting ^Z at just the wrong time (leaving me to configure some of the stuff by hand). Did I maybe miss something? I'd prefer not to hear that the solution is to reinstall :) What is the status on 2.0.5? I'd like to run FreeBSD-current (or a later snapshot), but I don't have room to recompile the sources. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. :)
