>Description:
PKG_DBDIR=/pkgdb
PKG_PATH=/packages
export PKG_DBDIR
export PKG_PATH
mkdir /tmp/somedir
cd /tmp/somedir
pkg_add -C /usr/obj/nanobsd/_.w /packages/perl.tbz
produces an error on exit as the directory /tmp/somedir does not exist in the
chroot-ed environment.
Fix is to add a 'cd /tmp' just before the package add, but this might not be an option in cases where the package is referenced relative.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Most probably the chdir should be moved to the part of the code that is outside the chroot.
