I just saw it - there's a line with only whitespace in it at the end of the packing list, and you probably ran into the dreaded `blank line gets treated as null filename' bug! It ended up doing a `chmod -R 444 .', and let me guess - you were in / at the time! :-( Ok, I've now fixed this and uploaded a new version of the package install software to: freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/packages/pkg_install.tar.gz The new copy of the sources are also in: freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/ports/util/pkg_install Sorry for the inconvenience!
