Re: [pkg] pkg command question/bug

Karen,

This is the way that the pkg(1) command is designed. There is a -R
option to the command for providing the location of the image. If -R is
not specified, then it uses the current working directory as the
default. The pkg command never uses the location of the executable to
find the image.

Cheers,
Tom
