Note: This only appears to happen with pkgsrc 0.6.4 (smartos-base64 13.2.0, for example).

[bixu]

We get a nonzero exit status when installing scmgit on its own, so the problem may lie there.

[mamash]

It's a known issue - pkgin will return non-zero if one of the packages it installs already exists on the system. It's due to the core pkg_add, which behaves the same if '-f' forced (as pkgin executes it), whereas it should really just no-op "nothing to do".

[jperkin]

I've built an updated pkg_install to fix this for 2013Q1 and 2013Q2. In order to upgrade, you must run

pkg_add -u pkg_install

Subsequent pkgin runs should return the correct error code, though you will probably notice a bogus value for errors in the output, e.g.

pkg_install warnings: 0, errors: -4

This is merely cosmetic, and will be fixed in subsequent releases.

@jperkin I have included your workaround in my version of the joyent-smartmachine.erb bootstrap file for Chef.
