Re: Pkg_comp bug?

Looks pretty much like the same change I did and it worked.

Thanks!

This all worked under NetBSD-8.0 so I didn’t anticipate any problems, however the sandbox build failed with an error trying to do a tar extraction of base.tar.xz.  I tracked it down to a place in sandbox.subr where it adds an “e” option to the tar command when running under NetBSD.  Apparently this option used to specific that tar should bail on the first error it encounters, but that option doesn’t seem to exist in the version of tar that is installed with NetBSD-9.0.  Removing the option allowed the pkg_comp command to successfully build the sandbox.
