>Description:
Just want to have the following bug (sufficiently explained from
Paul Smith, the below explanation is from him) 
in the problem reports:

Compat22 does not work until you reboot. This bug first appeared in 3.1, was
cured, and is now back.

So you have to install Compat22 and anything else that does not require the
a.out library, reboot, go into /stand/sysinstall, and then install packages
which require a.out.

>How-To-Repeat:
When you install FreeBSD from scratch, install e.g.
the XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 package.
>Fix:
Workaround, like described above from Paul Smith:

you have to install Compat22 and anything else that does not require the
a.out library, reboot, go into /stand/sysinstall, and then install packages
which require a.out.
