Summary:                    pkg-get fails to bootstrap wget
Description: 
Just downloaded pkg-get from http://opencsw.org/pkg-get to a Solaris 8 box.
As i didn't have wget, pkg-get offered me to download one via ftp. This
however fails, as $MASTERBASE isn't set correctly.

# This is only for fallback purposes in extreme measures
# The target package must be UNCOMPRESSED in any way!!
MASTERSITE=${MASTERSITE:-ftp.ibiblio.org}
MASTERBASE=${MASTERSITE:-pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/current}

Even when this is corrected, the installation fails. See second invocation
in additional information.

The suggestions made by pkg-get on where to get wget ($SITE/wget) after
failing to download / install wget don't help either, because no wget can
be found there. Unfortunately the wget download links on
http://opencsw.org/pkg-get are broken also.

It would appear that pkg-get was reporting accurately.

"wget package is not right".

It was CHANGED :-(

will release an updated pkg-get to handle both old and new wget packages.
grrr.
