Hi Larry,<br>
Here's a two quick remarks:<br>

Kiel isn't the testing release (although it should be and it will be,<br>eventually).<br>

I don't know if you can use --param for choosing the catalog. I<br>remember that the -t flag was supposed to be used for this purpose.<br>But it only added a new catalog to the pool of available catalogs, it<br>did not replace the existing ones. Maybe try:<br>
pkgutil -C -t <a href="http://mirror.../">http://mirror...<br></a>

You're right Maciej and Larry should've seen this when he tried:<br>
# pkgutil -C --param=mirror:<a href="http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/kiel">http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/kiel<br></a>Do not use -p for mirror, use -t instead!<br>...<br>
You're also right that -t pretty much adds to what you have defined as<br>"mirror" in pkgutil.conf but in this case it shouldn't have any<br>negative effect. He will compare his installed packages to the<br>
combined contents of testing and Kiel.<br> <br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">/peter</span> </blockquote><div><br></div><div><b>My response: </b> </div></div><div>Yes, -t works. I had forgotten about -t. I looked for it by typing "pkginfo" but my eyes kept skipping over it, probably because I was looking for the word "repository" instead of "site". There might be a suggestion there to change the text for that help in case others who are read impatiently like me.</div>
