>Description:
The scripts installed by the pkg port seem to be incorrect.
They have the following:
if ${pkgcmd} -N >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
echo 'pkg-backup is enabled but pkg is not used'
rc=2
else
....
However, this means that if the script finds ${pkgcmd} it will simply exit
with an error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
If you have the pkg port installed, run a script installed by the pkg port,
such as
/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/400.status-pkg
It will exit with the error message.
pkg is installed:
root@sunbot:/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily # /usr/local/sbin/pkg -N
pkg: 761 packages installed
The script exits with an error:
root@sunbot:/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily # ./400.status-pkg
Checking for out of date packages:
status-pkg is enabled but pkg is not used
>Fix:
Not sure. As a workaround I've been simply changing the line
if ${pkgcmd} -N >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
to
if 0 -eq ${pkgcmd} -N > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
but I think that defeats the purpose of this part of the script.
