Hallo!

I'm trying to install something using pkg-get on Solaris 10 machine. This fails:

I used to be able to install programs with pkg-get on this machine.

I logged in to this machine via ssh. I logged in as a normal user. Then 
I did a "su -" to become root. As root, I ran "pkg-get -i md5sum".

Why do I get this error message and what do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks a lot,
Alexander
