I did a 'make >&log' in pkg_install, and the log is short, so:

 /~~~

===> Checking for vulnerabilities in pkg_install-20050607
===> Installing for pkg_install-20050607
===> usage: pkg_admin [-V] command args ...
Where 'commands' and 'args' are:
 rebuild                     - rebuild pkgdb from +CONTENTS files
 check [pkg ...]             - check md5 checksum of installed files
 lsall /path/to/pkgpattern   - list all pkgs matching the pattern
 lsbest /path/to/pkgpattern  - list pkgs matching the pattern best
 dump                        - dump database
 pmatch pattern pkg          - returns true if pkg matches pattern, false else i
s already installed - perhaps an older version?

Unfortunately, I needed the system to be operational and wiped the
disk.  It's now got 2.0.x on it.

However, it was a stock, fresh 1.6 (not 1.6.x) install.  I had just
reinstalled it---including newfs---since previously it had been
running a mish-mash of -current kernel & userland and I needed to
straighten that out.

I have a spare system that I might try putting back on 1.6 to test
this when I have a bit more time.
