Subject: Re: bin/30658: 3.0_BETA: pkg_add broken for installing valid binary
 pkgs
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 04:15:52 +0200 (CEST)

 After previous discussion with wiz@ on the matter in this PR, and PR 
 pkg/24712 which initially raised the problematic change, I'd like to 
 change the fatal error into a warning.
 
 Please review, I'll commit this by monday morning GMT if I hear no 
 objections.
