Bug 23907

Summary: Cannot install x11/XFree86-aoutlibs from sysinstall (pkg-req/ldconfig problem)

Description Jimmy Olgeni 2000-12-28 14:00:00 UTC 
If you choose to install XFree86-aoutlibs from sysinstall (standard cdrom
or ftp installation) the package will fail to install. Any running
"install.cfg" script will then be aborted.

The problem may be with the port's pkg-req: it suggests that:

"There do not appear to be any a.out libraries on this
machine.  Please install the compat22 distribution (via
/stand/sysinstall) or build it as part of your 'make world'
(see /etc/make.conf)."

... even if you actually installed compat22 from the distributions list.

pkg-req uses ldconfig to determine if compat22 is installed: maybe at
early install time ldconfig has not yet been configured and gives wrong
results to pkg-req. The same binary port installs fine from pkg_add after
installation.

Fix: 

Either give a clue about single user mode sysinstall to pkg-req (?), or run
ldconfig before installing any binary ports from sysinstall (?). Other
ports will then call ldconfig as specified in their plists, keeping
ldconfig in sync.

I'm looking for a solution to this PR. 
I'll follow up with a fix after some more testing.

I can confirm that this fix works (tested on a recent 4-STABLE snapshot).

Comment 3 olgeni 2001-02-01 12:20:02 UTC 
Looking at sysinstall's output, the following fix is also
required by the master netscape port:

Fixes committed, but this has to be tested on the 4.3 beta ISO.

Everything looks fine on the 4.3-RC1 ISO.
