I found a bug in libfetch a while back that causes pkg_add -r to seg fault on the 2nd package. This was also reported by numerous people. See thread: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I received NO replies but am not the maintainer of libfetch. So this message will serve as a warning -- if someone more familiar with the code does not fix it the "right" way, I will fix it and you may not like it. http://www.dlc.fi/~frog/wavs/failure2.wav -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
