>Description:
When the pathname with a or more spaces. the unpack in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/lib/file.c will cause the
tar can't find the +CONTENTS file. Because the
if (vsystem("tar %s %s %s", args, pkg, flist ? flist : "")) {
will produce a string like "tar -$(ARGS) $PATH FILENAME.tgz ...".
It will make the tar can't find the right archive.

>How-To-Repeat:
Web Send-Pr
>Fix:
change "tar %s %s %s" to "tar %s '%s' %s"
