#pkg_add codelite-5.0.6213.tbz
pkg_add: corrupted record for package codelite-5.0.6213 (...), ignoring
pkg_add: leave_playpen: can't chdir back to ''
....

This error randomly occurs on a tenth of programs (usually gnome, sometimes
p5-) that I transfer from machine to machine (same installworld...) via 
thumbdrive.  Not usually a big problem, but some ports (codelite for instance)
then need an additional many minutes or hours of building *again*.

I posted the question on the forums a while back, but no one knew.

2nd subject...

Should the freebsd forums have  subsections (lang, x11...)

/lang/
[bug] how to choose perl threaded
[hint] python for numeric CLI computations
[fix] {some port...} builds with gcc not clang...

/x11/
[fix] yad built with...

... etc etc.
Not only is this a feature they'd be hard put to put to use in other
operating systems, but it may lessen the backlog of PR's if maintainers, say,
check new posts and fix it locally without the need for PR's, essentially 
having a bit more streamlining, at the cost of de-standardization of a sort.
