I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5R but am having difficulty with
the packages.  Specifically, while using the sysinstall program, I
am getting error messages that some packages are not found while
others cannot be installed becasue they've already been installed
as dependencies.  I am wondering if the packages that *do* install
are handling their package dependencies correctly.

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.  Any help is
appreciated, and thanks in advance.
