Before attempting to extract this package, sysinstall attempts to extract the Xfree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 dependency, but that install fails. I _think_ this is due to the pkg install not properly fixing ldconfig in the funny MFS-based install environment, so the newly-installed dep libs aren't found. Using /stand/sysinstall after rebooting the system to install the Netscape package works as expected. >How-To-Repeat: Boot a 4.0 install CD, install a system, and attempt to install Netscape 4.72 package. >Fix: Workaround: Reboot the newly-installed system before attempting to install Netscape. [If this can't be fixed in sysintsall (or pkg_add), perhaps this package should not be on CD1, or perhaps sysinstall can notice that this package should not be installed at sys install time.] >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
