In the pkg-get script the following trivial error is the cause :

-- list begins at line 1988
# MUST HAVE gzip!
check_gzip

# Try to make sure we have wget SOMEWHERE in our path.
# Try to cover all potential reasonable places to look for it.
# Un
less the conf file tells us to use another program, that is.
WGET=${WGET:-wget}
---------------------------------------

Pretty obvious how to fix this

------------ change made --------
# MUST HAVE gzip!
check_gzip

# Try to make sure we have wget SOMEWHERE in our path.
# Try to cover all potential reasonable places to look for it.
# Unless the conf file tells us to use another program, that is.
WGET=${WGET:-wget}
------------------------------------


Expect a new pkg-get package right away.  You can edit the script file with
vi at the moment.

Please keep in mind that while this error is annoying it is also harmless.
It just happens to attempt to execute less ( less == a linux/GPL pager
program like more ) on files that don't exist.  Then pkg-get proceeds
normally.

One moment please, technical crews are dispatched to fix this.
