>Description:
If the cvsupit-3.0 package is installed by /stand/sysinstall, the pkg_add invocation never completes.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install cvsupit-3.0 from a BSD CDROM using /stand/sysinstall. The cvsup install (if needed) will complete normally. cvsupit-3.0 will not get installed. To get out, use C-c and abort the installation. 
>Fix:
No fix[1], but guess: that interactive program may not be smart enough to know that it's running in Tommy-mode, and so it waits for that input that will never be forthcoming.

Notes:
[1]I'm coming from ~9 years on Linux and (later) rpm :P and **mumble** years on everything from ATT Unix PC & 3B2 up to Solaris 7. I never learned pkg_* from SunOS/Solaris (I'm a developer), so I'll pass on this one; I gotta learn the ports and pkg_* systems first.
