Same here. I downloaded the pine-3.91.tgz file, unpacked the files into a directory called /usr/local/src/pine, typed "pkg_add pine-3.91" and got: Can't find package `pine-3.91'. according to +CONTENTS, the name of the package is "@name pine-3.91" What am I doing wrong? The same thing happens on EVERY package.
