I recently upgraded my FreeBSD system to 2.1.0, using the 2.1.0-951020-SNAP.
However, I have been having the following problem with packages:
shoebox: {5} pkg_add less-290.tgz
Requested space: 220452 bytes, free space: 18386944 bytes in /var/tmp/instmp.001084
tar: can't open archive ./less-290.tgz : No such file or directory
tar: child returned status 3
tar: +CONTENTS not found in archive
Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package?
1 package addition(s) failed.
So it seems as though it changes directory or something before opening the file
by prepending './'.
Any comments ?
Cheers
Tim.
