Can you give a working (tested) example here?Already the first command fails for me, and it's not clear to me what EXACTLY I have to to give to -P - I know that pkg_add is picky with PKG_PATH, so I've tried what came to my mind, with little success:
miyu% pkg_chk -P ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386 -abg Failed to open file. miyu% pkg_chk -P ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/ -abg Failed to change directory. miyu% pkg_chk -P ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/All -abg Failed to open file. miyu% pkg_chk -P ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/All/ -abg Failed to change directory. miyu%Also, I've noticed that the usage of pkg_chk is incomplete, at least -q is not mentioned.
