Ports / pkg_create issues

[Mark Saad]

Hey ,
I 've just inherited an OpenBSD mail server (qmail) and one of the
issues with it I can't seem to figure out is why I can't get any of the
ports to install.
I downloaded a new snapshot from ftp.openbsd.org just to make sure that
there was not something broken in the original setup, but I keep ending
up with this,
any ideas ?


bash-2.05b# make install
===> Building package for tcsh-6.12.00
pkg_create: unknown option -- A
usage: pkg_create [-Ohv] [-P dpkgs] [-C cpkgs] [-p prefix] [-f contents]
[-i iscript] [-k dscript] [-r rscript] [-t template]
[-X excludefile] [-D displayfile] [-m mtreefile]
-c comment -d description -f packlist -S basedir pkg-name
===> Cleaning for tcsh-6.12.00
rm -f /usr/ports/packages/i386/all/tcsh-6.12.00.tgz
*** Error code 1

Did you get the matching set of packages to go along with that
snapshot? You *must* do this--never mix a snapshot with a
release version of packages or vise versa. It might work, maybe,
but could also screw things up rather well. It isn't clear to me if
you got the packages or not.

Not recent enough snapshot.

Since the pkg tools are perl, just grab src/usr.sbin/pkg_add thru cvs,
and do

make obj
make depend
make
sudo make install BINDIR=/usr/sbin

in there.
