Current active security advisories for 3.1: None ---- System Update Information: + +o Some packages, like netscape, will fail to install if chosen + at initial system installation time, in some cases claiming + that the "compat22" distribution needs to be installed even + though it has, indeed, been installed. + + +Fix: The problem here is that though the compatibility a.out libraries + may have been installed from compat22 and as part of the XFree86 + distribution, the a.out library (ldconfig) cache has not yet been + built given that this doesn't happen until the system has booted + completely at least once. This causes packages which require the + old a.out libraries (like netscape) to get confused if they're + installed before that has occurred. To work around the problem, + simply complete the installation as normal and come up fully, + then re-run /stand/sysinstall (or use the pkg_add(1) command + directly) to re-install the failing package(s).
