>Description:

Installing XFree86-Server-4.0.3 hangs and never completes during the pkg_add phase. It looks like the install script runs "dialog" to warn the user of a possible security risk. The dialog box is never displayed and dialog starts using up 100% of the CPU.

>How-To-Repeat:

I did a "make index" in /usr/ports, otherwise an older version of XFree86-Server was only avaliable to be installed. I then ran sysinstall, selected post-install configuration, install pre-package programs, selected X windows ports, and then selected the XFree86-Server-4.0.3. It grabed the dependencies and installed them fine. It ftp'ed the server and started running pkg_add. It never completed and I noticed that the system load went through the roof. Running "top" showed that "dialog" was using 100% of the cpu.

>Fix:

I manually ftp'ed the server tarball and ran pkg_add from the command line. The dialog box did come up and I selected "yes".
