Description seb 2001-05-30 02:50:00 UTC
When using pkg_add -r to install a package pkg_add just hangs.

Fix: After a bit of debugging it turns out the fork() that is done to set up
the pipeline for tar doesn't close the file descriptor that is used for
the ftp data channel (I guess there is a bit of a timing issue there,
although for me it occurs every time).

Here is a one line fix to version 1.40.2.5 of the file
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/lib/file.c that takes care of the
problem. Feel free to beautify my fix. (The fix is relevant to both
HEAD and RELENG_4). Thanks!
How-To-Repeat: Run for example this:

  % env FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=1 PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/All/ pkg_add -v -r xbatt-1.2.1
