Hi Guys,

I'm trying to build pkg from ports on a nfs booted CAMBRIA arm board
using FreeBSD-head. I can build the whole pkg, but then when trying to
install, I get
pkg-static: failed to find the version elf note

#############
root@:/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg # make install
===>  Installing for pkg-1.2.7_3

===>   Registering installation for pkg-1.2.7_3

Installing pkg-1.2.7_3...pkg-static: package field incomplete: architecture
pkg-static: the package is not valid
pkg-static: sqlite: cannot rollback - no transaction is active
If you are upgrading from the old package format, first run:

  # pkg2ng

*** Error code 70

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /export/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
*** Error code 1

Is there some bootstrapping that I need to do? My previous arm stuff
used the old pkg system.

Regards

John
