Using "pkg_manage" to add a package, you go through the menus
to pick the directory and the package, then select it to add,
press enter ("install marked"), and then it stops with an error
("do you want to see the output?" yes!):
tar: can't open archive ./xcb-2.3.tgz: No such file or directory
tar: child returned status 1
tar: +CONTENTS not found in archive
Before running "pkg_manage" I entered the directory where the
pacakges resided.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/local/packages

Install Packages
<return>
<Mark one package>
