Hello, I just installed FreeBSD 5.0 DP1 and everything is great with the system except i cant get pkg_add to work via ftp. I am trying to install the current afterstep package from the offical freebsd ftp server. Here is what i am trying per the handbook. # pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/p ackages/afterstep/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/packages/af terstep/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: child returned status 1 Broken pipe I tried with the -r option. # pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/packages/All/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i38 6/5. 0-CURRENT/packages/All/aft erstep -1.8.11.tbz... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: child returned status 1 Broken pipe The above will probably get trunicated as i am using a html interface for mail until my system gets setup so please forgive. Anyways..yes i am formating it as: pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/whatever The man does show .tgz as the package format but i dont see that format and assume its been changed to .tbz. I have downloaded several .tbz packages to local disk and used pkg_add to install without trouble but i would like to use the ftp methode on this one so i dont have to find all the deps etc... as this methode is suppose to install all the deps automatically. Ftp is working as i can manually #ftp ftp.freebsd.org any help would be appreciated. thanks.
