installing nslint - debug your DNS

As part of the continuing
Getting local names to resolve
problem, I decided to install nslint at the advice of a helper on on the
FreeBSD Questions mailing list
.  Here's what I've done so far:
26 July 1998
I checked my 2.2.5 CDs for nslint but it wasn't there.  So I went to
ftp.freebsd.org
and checked out the cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/net/ and looked for nslint.  I found a directory, but that's not what I need.  I wanted a .tar file.  I remembered it was somewhere else.  I went back up the tree and found distfiles.  That's where I found nslint-2.0a5.tar.Z.   I retrieved it from the FTP server it and then continued as below.
gunzip nslint-2.0a5.tar.Z
tar -xvf nslint-2.0a5.tar
cd nslint-2.0a5
make install
Well, that didn't work.  And there's no instructions.  So I posted a message to the
mailing list
.
27 July 1998
A reply on the
mailing list
suggests I try a package instead.  So I grabbed nslint-2.0a4.tgz from
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/net
.   Then I do the following:
bash# pwd
/usr/packages
bash# pkg_add nslint-2.0a4.tgz
tar: Could not create file bin/nslint : Is it a directory
missing: ./share/nls/sl_SI.ISO_8859-2 (created)
bash#
Well, that doesn't make *any* sense to me.  Ahh well.
Out of desperation, I type nslint.  I get: bash: nslint: is a directory.  Hmmm.  Where is that directory?  I ask on Undernet #freebsd.  Well, I asked, but I found it anyways.  It was in /usr/local/bin.   I delete that directory and try the package install again.  Now I get:
pkg_add: package 'nslint-2.0a4' already recorded as installed
Bummer.  How do unrecord that install?  Ahhh, I'll check the
pkg_add man pages
.  There I found the following bit of information:
10. After installation is complete, a copy of the packing list,
deinstall script, description, and display files are copied into
/var/db/pkg/_pkg-name_ for subsequent possible use by pkg_delete(1).
Any package dependencies are recorded in the other packages'
/var/db/pkg/_other-pkg_/+REQUIRED_BY file (if the environment vari­
able PKG_DBDIR is set, this overrides the /var/db/pkg/ path shown
above).
You beauty!
So I ran pkg_delete nslint-2.0a4.  And received the following messages:
pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/bin/.nslint' doesn't really exist
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?)
