>Environment:

FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA Install
	

>Description:

The package management took (pkg_manage) doesnt seem to handle the percent 
complete bar well.  In some cases it just keeps going way over 100% (as the
number tracks a >100% as well) IN others it seems to start at 200%.

The pkg_manage tool should also if at all possible figure out what requires
what and install those packages first if they are in the install list.
	

>How-To-Repeat:

Run pkg_manage with a set of packages..

State-Changed-Why:  
pkg_manage it actually an outdated tool which originated in the days 
when /usr/ports/packages was a single, flat directory without 
categorization information (and the number of packages we had was 
less than half the number we have now).  Going to a multi-directory 
scheme broke pkg_manage pretty significantly, and it's never been that 
usable since.  Something based on the package installer in sysinstall 
(but far easier to use) is forthcoming shortly to replace this. 

Fixed by cvs removal.  :-)
