Okay, so I noticed that pkg_info is giving me a weird error message. Here is some output and an example of usage and the message that I get. [3:59pm] bear@ircla (~) # pkg_info -Ia | grep ethereal pkg_info: unable to open +CONTENTS file ethereal-0.9.1 An X11/GTK network analyzer/capture tool The second line after the actual command invocation gives a message concerning the +CONTENTS file. I assumed that was the +CONTENTS file located for each package in /var/db/pkg. I'm not sure why it's giving me that error. This machine has been upgraded from 4.3-RELEASE to 4.5-RELEASE just the other day. I've also taken the liberty of going into /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install and issuing a make install to try to reinstall the pkg_* utilities. Not sure what other information to give you, but if you need more just ask and I'll be happy to respond.
