(After my optind problem ...)

That built fine, but then the pkg_install install failed at end:

/usr/bin/install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 pkg_view.cat1 /usr/man/cat1/pkg_view.0
if [ ! -f /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.byfile.db ]; then                    if [ ! -d
/var/db/pkg ]; then                           install -d -o bin -g bin -m 755
/var/db/pkg;            fi;
/usr/sbin/pkg_admin -K /var/db/pkg rebuild;
fi
*** Error code 1

Stop.

(That little shell script worked fine when ran alone, and that pkg_admin
ended with $? as 0.)

When I did the install again, I got a lot more from the
/usr/sbin/pkg_admin -K /var/db/pkg rebuild ...

.................pkg_admin: e2fsprogs-1.19: File
/usr/info/libext2fs.info.gz is

.pkg_admin: ed-0.2: File /usr/info/ed.info is in +CONTENTS but not on

(and a couple hundred more lines -- problems I need to fix.)

I was doing this with -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER because my previously installed
pkg_install package was registered. I moved the
/var/db/pkg/pkg_install-20030423 out of the way and then did the install
again and it didn't fail.

Any idea why the install failed above when using FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
defined?

I also removed the NO_PKG_REGISTER and NO_PACKAGE lines.

So I added them back. And using FORCE_PKG_REGISTER  again to overwrite my
package worked successfully.

Any ideas on how I can track down why this package won't register when
using FORCE_PKG_REGISTER and NO_PKG_REGISTER and NO_PACKAGE are not
defined?

(It used to work for me, before updating to recent pkg_install.)
