The first time I tried to add linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz to a new-from-CD 7.0 installation, it complained about a missing dependency that was on the other CD. OK, I switched CDs and installed that, then switched back and retried linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz, and it gave me some sort of error about an unbalanced add operation. (I didn't try to copy down all the details, figuring instead to retry with a script(1) active so as to capture them.) Upon that retry, it now tells me that the package is already installed, even though the prior attempt failed. What is going on? # uname -a FreeBSD fbsd70.uucp 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 # ls -l linuxdoc* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9156 Feb 24 08:18 linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz # pkg_add -Kv linuxdoc* Requested space: 36624 bytes, free space: 774981632 bytes in /var/tmp/instmp.3DBbHN pkg_add: package 'linuxdoc-1.1_1' or its older version already installed pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed
