System: NetBSD baccf5ee.roland-illig.de 2.99.15 NetBSD 2.99.15 (GENERIC) #0: Wed Feb 9 20:19:30 CET 2005 build@baccf5ee.roland-illig.de:/home/build/objroot/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:

when creating the +CONTENTS file for a package, pkg_create calls the
fprintf() function various times without checking if the function
succeeded. This can lead to unnoticed package corruption. In my case,
editors/abiword could not be packaged, and the "make package" process
terminated without giving an error message.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
Add _complete_ error checking to the pkgtools/pkg_install program.
Enable lint(1) for it.
