You may find this solution cheesy, but it works. I found the problem to be /var/db, and ran into it when doing a pkg_add -r for a package with a lot of dependencies. Some things - like freebsd-update - are configurable to use a different dir without this nonsense. - M pvpn 206> ls -l /var/db total 228 ---------- 1 root wheel 990 May 11 03:03 dhclient.leases.vr0 drwx------ 2 operator operator 512 Jun 9 16:33 entropy lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 May 11 02:32 freebsd-update -> ../../usr/local/var/db/freebsd-update drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Apr 9 21:10 ipf -r--r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 183727 Jun 9 04:15 locate.database -rw------- 1 root wheel 40790 May 16 20:05 mergemaster.mtree lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 May 11 02:32 pkg -> ../../usr/local/var/db/pkg lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 28 May 11 02:32 ports -> ../../usr/local/var/db/ports lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 31 May 11 02:32 portsnap -> ../../usr/local/var/db/portsnap drwx------ 3 root wheel 512 May 21 20:54 sudo _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
