This is a known bug. Thanks for the report, though.



Best regards.

A little bit more of wisdom to me it seems then,

thanks again for your attention.

With CRUX PPC 2.0, the cvsup binary file should work properly once again.

BTW, If you plan not to upgrade to 2.0, just download the 2.0 iso with wget...



... Now mount it with losetup...



... Then upgrade the cvsup package with pkgadd...



... And everything should work fine.



Best regards.
