Dear Colin, Julian,
I am afraid the script is not working reliably when it is launched by Colin’s
very useful configinit from EC2 user-data. If I run the same script from the
shell prompt, it works. The difference is that pkg -r /mnt update -f fails a
good few times, each time with these errors:
/bin/sh: indexinfo: not found
pkg: POST-INSTALL script failed
Is indexinfo something that I could manually add? I am sorry I am not more
familiar with the inner workings of pkg…
Many thanks indeed,
Rafal
