I am building up a system (FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE amd64) using synth, but even when the packages build and appear in /var/synth/live_packages/All , some of the packages don't install. When I type "which gnumeric", "which bison", "which abiword", I just get a blank, and the executable files don't appear in /usr/local/bin . This happened with math/gnumeric, editors/abiword-docs, among others. I subsequently installed those packages by typing "synth install math/gnumeric" and "synth install editors/abiword-docs", but how do I find all the others that built and are listed in /var/synth/live_packages/All but did not install? I see "ls -l /var/synth/live_packages/All" has 657 lines, while "pkg info -a" produces 544 lines. I piped to "more", then hit G to go to the end, then Ctrl-G, which showed the number of lines. This may not tell the whole story, but makes me believe there is a disparity, and ask how to find and install those packages that built but didn't install. Has anybody else been stung by this bug? Tom
