Hello FreeBSD Pros,

:) adding ports is a nice feature. Adding packages is even nicer to me. The
problem for me is, i use the web frontend of freebsd.org to scan for good
ports and try to add the package for this port with:

# pkg_add -r <package_name>

Sometime it fetches the packages ... like "licq-console":

Fetching
ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/
licq-console.tgz... Done.

Sometime it won't find it ... like "darkstar":

Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/
darkstar.tgz: File unavailable
(e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest
/darkstar.tgz' by URL

Why can't the pkg_add don't find this and find the other? Can i specify a
better "PACKAGESITE" or "PACKAGEROOT" environment, which would get it
better?

TAI
Mario
