Planix, Inc.; Toronto, Ontario; Canada
>Environment:

System: 		NetBSD q 1.5B i386
pkgtools_version:	20000618

>Description:

	It would seem that some parts of the pkg tools are less robust
	than others.  Failure to fully fetch a remote package in
	"pkg_add" will cause the partial copy to be partly installed
	despite the fact that error messages clearly indicated that
	the code detected the problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

	try adding a package from a remote server that'll time out
	after sending a bit of the file (or force the ftp to fail):

# pkg_add ftp://q/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5B/i386/All/emacs-20.7.tgz    
setenv PKG_PATH='ftp://q/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5B/i386/All'
pkg_add: expect: select() timeout                   
pkg_add: Cannot fetch file (-1!=226)!
Error on unpackURL('ftp://q/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5B/i386/All/emacs-20.7.tgz', '/var/tmp/instmp.27373a')
pkg_add: unable to fetch `ftp://q/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5B/i386/All/emacs-20.7.tgz' by URL
tar: cannot chown file share/emacs/20.7/etc/FAQ to uid 0 gid 0 : No such file or directory

tar: cannot change mode of file share/emacs/20.7/etc/FAQ to 0444 : No such file or directory
tar: Could not create file share/emacs/20.7/etc/FTP : No such file or directory
tar: Could not create file share/emacs/20.7/etc/GNU : No such file or directory
^?Signal 2 received, cleaning up.
pkg_add: can't chdir back to '/var/tmp/instmp.27373a'
ksh: exit code: 2
# ftp: No control connection for command.

	note that the server does show the file was not fully
	transfered:
