I upgraded a system from 4.4 to 4.5.  After the upgrade gv failed when run
because it couldn't find gv_init.ps.  locate didn't show gv_init.ps, and when I
tried to list the files in gv I got

  $ uname -a
  OpenBSD AddisAbaba.hhadmin.monmouth.edu 4.5 GENERIC#1749 i386

  $ echo $PKG_PATH
  ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/packages/i386

  $ sudo pkg_delete gv
  gv-3.5.8p4: complete
  Clean shared items: complete

  $ sudo pkg_add gv
  gv-3.5.8p4: complete

  $ pkg_info -L gv
  Expected: Bad packing list for inst:gv-3.5.8p4 at /usr/sbin/pkg_info line 316

  $

My other openbsd 4.5 system was installed from scratch; gv works there without
gv_init.ps, as does pkg_list -L gv.  At this point I have exhausted my package
knowledge: I don't know why gv is choking on gv_init.ps, and I don't know why
pkg listing doesn't work.  What might the explanations be?
