>Environment:
System: Darwin excalibur.zhadum.org.uk 9.2.2 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2: Tue
Mar 4 21:23:43 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh
Architecture: powerpc
Machine: Power Macintosh
>Description:
"pkg_install" uses warnx(3) a lot the problem is that it behaves differently
under Mac OS X Leopard:
tron@excalibur:~>cat tt.c
#include <err.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
warnx("It is all Joerg's fault.\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
tron@excalibur:~>uname -sr
Darwin 9.2.2
tron@excalibur:~>gcc tt.c -Wall -O2 -o tt
tron@excalibur:~>./tt
tt: It is all Joerg's fault.\n
tron@excalibur:~>
tron@colwyn:~>uname -sr
NetBSD 4.0_STABLE
tron@colwyn:~>gcc tt.c -Wall -O2 -o tt
tron@colwyn:~>./tt
tt: It is all Joerg's fault.
tron@colwyn:~>
It seems that we should ignore warnx(3) and friends under Mac OS X and
use the version from "libnbcompat".
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a package, put an extra file in one of the directories it created
and delete it with "pkg_install" afterwards. The error message that
"pkg_delete" prints will contain the string "\n".
>Fix:
Don't use warnx(3) under Mac OS X Leopard.
