The linux_base-* packages require Linux support in the kernel during installation because they run /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig. The packages have a PRE-INSTALL script that checks this and returns an error if the support isn't there, but pkg(1) ignores such errors and continues to install the files anyway. Then it runs ldconfig via POST-INSTALL which fails but errors from this are also ignored and pkg(1) exits normally. It looks like this: sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease' linuxulator is not (kld)loaded, exiting pkg-static: PRE-INSTALL script failed ELF binary type "0" not known. /bin/sh: /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: Exec format error pkg-static: POST-INSTALL script failed Shouldn't pkg(1) abort when pre-install fails and return an error when post-install fails?
