@scottalanmiller said in Errors Installing SaltStack on NetBSD 7.1.1:

Got it, it was a packaging versioning issue. I had accidentally set the verison to 8.0 when it was 7.1.1. I got a clean install and set the package version correctly and now it works fine.

If you want to know how to set the version accurately automatically, try this that I just made...

export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/`uname -m`/`uname -r`/All/"

That's exactly what I was thinking but didn't say anything. I wanted to see what you'd do.

Pop quiz: why do you need the dash with su?

That was in the original article.

And I quoted you without quoting you..... see what I did there, I switched a few words 😛

It's just that Windows Phone and Windows RT have merged and that's where that codebase has gone. It's real Windows now, from my understanding.

Haven't used BSD since my days at Data General. DG/UX was a hybrid, BSD for the file system (faster and more robust), networking used streams from ATT Sys V. I have now dated myself.
