Then I think we are dealing with a bug. As pkg_manage starts, it tries to read the package info. It then gives a dialog box that says "An error occurred, view output?". I select yes, and another box comes up entitled "Error output from pkg_add". This contains (and I type by hand): Warning:PKG_PATH environment variable not set. tar: unknown option } tar: unknown option. use tar --help blah blah blah Tar extract of failed! <----This is an exact copy Error during unpacking, no info for 'less-290' available. I have only one package registered, 'less', how did you guess? ;-) and its directory structure looks like: Script started on Sun Apr 30 18:18:09 1995 bash$ find /var/db/pkg -print /var/db/pkg /var/db/pkg/less-290 /var/db/pkg/less-290/+CONTENTS /var/db/pkg/less-290/+DESC /var/db/pkg/less-290/+COMMENT bash$ exit Any ideas?
