Subject:   Problem installing packages with pkg_add
Message-ID:  <19970211124503.AAA19602@dcro6.dcro.dla.mil>

I've got 2.1.6 up and running and have been trying to
install some packages.

>From what the responses I received from this mailing list,
I tried using pkg_add instead of sysinstall.

I ftp'd (binary mode) files from my ftp server (that I
copied the packages directory of the cd and also ftp'd
(yes in binary mode) updated one from ftp.freebsd.org
to install but I keep running into this problem.

The problem I'm running into is I get the following
message:

Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package?        

Any one have an idea what's happening and what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!
