System: NetBSD poseidon.pantheon.ton.tut.fi 1.6.2 NetBSD 1.6.2 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Feb 10 21:53:10 UTC 2004 autobuild@tgm.netbsd.org:/autobuild/netbsd-1-6-PATCH002/i386/OBJ/autobuild/netbsd-1-6-PATCH002/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
pkg_add cannot install packages from some FTP-sites, unless the precise
version number and file suffix is given.  Apparently, some server's don't
interpret following patterns correctly: package-*.t[bg]z
>How-To-Repeat:
For example:
$ export PKG_PATH='ftp://ftp.fi.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6.2/i386/All'
$ pkg_add free
>Fix:
Instead of 'nlist package-*.t[bg]z' possible packages should be listed with
'nlist package-*.tgz' and 'nlist package-*.tbz'.
