>Description:
pkg_add -C /usr/obj/nanobsd.8/some/dir -r pdnsd

returns an error code. In the pkg-install script /dev/zero is referenced (for
creating the initial cache file), but that is not there because in the chroot
/dev is not populated.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
nick at bitske:~ % diff pkg-install.old pkg-install
7c7
< dd if=/dev/zero of=${PDNSDB}/pdnsd.cache bs=1 count=4 >/dev/null 2>&1
---
> truncate -s 4 ${PDNSDB}/pdnsd.cache
