Hi,
Here's what I get! Yes, there was something wrong with it! I get this error
on all of them:
gzip:stdout:Broken pipe
/usr/bin/tar:child returned status 1
pkg_add: can not invoke 435 byte /usr/bin/tar pipeline: /usr/bin/tar cf -
'include/uu.h' 'lib/libuu.a' 'lib/libuu.la'
pkg_add: autoload of dependency '/home/packages/All/uulib-0.5.15.tgz' failed!
