Yes, it does a good job, just the warning is bogus. Why? Because it suggest= s=20 that the packing list is incorrectly specified when exactly the opposite is= =20 true and it _is_ correct and covers all files and directories. I already ha= ve=20 given in to implement the workaround to avoid the bogus warning, but it is = a=20 workaround, not a fix (which would be to eliminate the bogus warning in=20 pkg_delete - possibly by more complex means than just stopping to print it). =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart2097679.hNxUgHsLm6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBugcVXhc68WspdLARAhNlAJ0dL1KnPIl5OI1iKWa+fdSSUWUJgACfdMbH 3Hbp57G9GZ6WGEp1HYvEgz4= =W2Cc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2097679.hNxUgHsLm6--
