I tried to install xemacs-19.14.tgz from sysinstall. It failed.
So, I pulled xemacs-19.14.tgz to my local disk and performed

# pkg_add -v xemacs-19.14.tgz
Requested space: 53957744 bytes, free space: 828093440 bytes in /usr/tmp/instmp.001428


Somehow, pkg_add extracted following things, but without install them:

# ls -l /usr/tmp/instmp.001428
total 239

There are errors as many as the number of files in the package.
It looks like this package trying to delete everything instead of installing it.
Here are some lines at the end of the entire message:

So, I tried to use MASTER/SLAVE mode, and it seems not working either.
It creates anonymous package, but bin/lib go nowhere.

Comment:
XEmacs text editor binaries

Description:
XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
display editor.

Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser.  It is easily
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.

XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending
(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running
subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print
loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and
many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp
that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser.

XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different 
display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the
ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say
it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
---------------------------------------------

I cannot delete this anonymous package:

# pkg_delete -f anonymous
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Would some one please tell me what I can do to delete it?
Has any one installed xemacs-19.14.tgz successfully?
This is under 2.1.6-RELEASE. 2.1.5-RELEASE has no problem on it.
