First off, I would like to say you guys have done an awesome job w/ OpenPKG.
You have saved me lots of trouble having to upgrade my FreeBSD 4.0R box that
is in a remote location.  The ports collection no longer works correctly,
packages are hit and miss...but now OpenPKG to the rescue.

I was trying to install sudo and it would not install due to a generic MTA
dependency.  I have one of the latest snapshots of postfix installed on this
machine from source, and do not need an MTA.

I've seen some references to creating a "virtual package."  I've even found
this:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openpkg-users&m=105800389211960&w=2

...but even with that and all of the documentation (Handbook/FAQ, etc.), the
process for creating these "virtual" packages is vague at best.  I would be
one of the very grateful OPKG users if this could be spelled out somewhere
for someone who is not really a programmer, and can make only crude scripts.

Could someone direct me to a tutorial/quicky FAQ item, something that tells
me how to create a "virtual package" to meet the MTA dependency?

Also.....given all the documentation, I still really have no clue how to use
lsync.  Is there anywhere I can get more information using htat?  How does
lsync fit in the process above?

I'd appreciate any help you guys could provide with these issues.

Thanks,
Frank
