It's not a bug. It's how pkg resolve a file conflict.worked,since within that directory there was two copies of apache24. The first one was the regular one,the second one was called apache24.pkgsave and it was executable (I think that it shouldn't). Again this "bug" has not been fixed and it messes up the system.
Speaking of normal you know you can share text from messages with error in it, right? Sharing picture of a text is interesting disease spreading in IT nowadays..
Because it's spreading like wildfire.why you call it disease ?

This may happen if you have /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24 rc script installed previously manually via copy/paste or via pkg/ports and then rollback or delete the pkg database /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite this will cause pkg not to know which programs are installed and when you try to install it again on top of the existing file pkg will create a copy of all conflicting files and keep them under .pkgsave on the same location that's why you end up with two startup scripts apache24 and apache24.pkgsave under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ .
It's save to scan the entire disk and delete all files with .pkgsave extension as already been told in other forum threat of yours by SirDice.
It's not the cause of the problem though, it's a symptom. The cause of the problem is self-inflicted. Don't blame the package tool for trying to fix a bad situation. You can have the most perfect tool to do the job but if you shove garbage in, you'll get garbage out.But it is still a behavior that messes up the system and it should not be produced at the root.

Healthcare in general. You can treat the symptoms (pain relief medication for example) but if you don't take away the cause of the pain (big sharp object poking through a limb for example) you will need to continuously deal with the symptoms.I see an analogy with the mental health.

Did you submit that PR? You obviously didn't clean up that mess from months ago. So, no, I'm not contradicting here.you are in contraddiction with yourself.
Ehm, no. It's very clear when and where those *.pkgsave files come from. You obviously haven't resolved the cause because they keep reappearing.But since the main reason that produces executables pkgfiles is still there,these files will be produced again and again even if I clean them up.
If you need to use those scripts you must be doing something very wrong to begin with. The "problem" isn't pkg(8) creating *.pkgsave files, the cause of the problem can be found when questioning why they keep appearing.I tried to use those scripts but I find it boring to do that everytime the problem arises again.

Yes, and since you seem to be the one that's constantly battling with those files you need to ask that question to yourself. You appear to be doing something that causes pkg(8) to create those files.Agree,why,is the most intelligent question we may ask,to ourself and to the other people around us.

That's mostly due to a lack of knowledge and probably a lack of methodology. You just do things without thinking, everything is done haphazardly. Troubleshooting means you take small, incremental steps and assess each step methodically and logically. How did I get here, what did I do. And often just as important, in what order. Computers are stupid machines, they'll do exactly what you tell them to do. Which is often not what you meant.Sure,but I don't realize what I do to produce that files.

Ehm. I have AD/HD. If there's anyone on the board with a severe lack of attention it's me. I've met plenty of other people in the IT business that are "on the spectrum" as they say.I know but I have a deficit of attention.
So? You think a hobbyist can't learn anything? Or improve their skills?On the end,there is not even need of all this,because this is an hobby for me.
I've been lucky. I've been able to turn a hobby into a well paying job. The 'job' isn't a requirement, it's just a means to an end. It pays for the rather expensive hobby, I get to buy cool new stuff to play with.Can't become like a job.
Of course you are. Everyone is. It just takes more time. Don't try to run before you're able to walk.Because some limitations written inside the structure of my mindset. I'm not able to study deeply some kind of manual and to develop a proper methodology.
Who said anything about having to go to college or a university? Back in my early days of computing I went to a library. Picked up a bunch of books and started reading them. And the next week I would take out some other books. Most of them didn't even make sense to me at the time. Still learned from them, just by reading it. The puzzle pieces started falling into place much, much later.i don't have the money to go to college.
Honestly, that sucks. Hallucinations rock. Granted, my only experiences with hallucinations have been drug induced, so there's some bias. On a more serious note, are you seeing a doctor? Take medications? There's a lot that can be done to keep things manageable nowadays.I have a different mental disease,but the deficit of attention is one of the symptoms. I'm affected by schizophrenia (luckily without hallucinations and delusions.)
I'm fairly sure this can be brought back. The pleasure from programming when you were a kid I mean. Somewhere along the line it got associated with the abuse and now you're stuck with that negative association. Good therapy could do wonders. But a severe lack of motivation is probably keeping you from getting any.When I was child I was a good turbo pascal programmer,but at a certain point,due to family abuses,I stopped to be able.
Probably a wrong translation here but I think I understand what you meant. I assume you mean that you've been deemed incapacitated and receive an unemployment benefit. Which probably isn't much. It's not much in the Netherlands, it's barely enough to pay for rent and some food.And at the age of 24, I took a modest state pension as an invalid and unable to work young guy.
One thing led to another, mostly in a downward spiral. It's a vicious circle. Breaking out of a vicious circle is hard. Please tell me you're seeing a doctor/therapist.I tried to redeem the low self-esteem I had of myself later,when I started the study of the clinical psychology. I was at -5 exams from the end, but my mother died (my father died when I was 19) and since then I have not been able to study in a structured way,anymore.
That's not what I'm seeing. You ARE self-taught. You get a few hints here and there on the forums and you manage to put the puzzle together. On your own.I'm not able to be a real self-taught.
Everybody needs help and support with complicated projects. Nobody does everything on their own. We've all had help and guidance to get where we are now.I need to be supported and helped to be able to accomplish a medium complicated project.
