The following steps should resolve your issue : >=20 > rm -rf /var/cache/pkg/* /var/db/pkg/repo-*.sqlite > pkg bootstrap -f > pkg update -f >=20 Doing this will really spoil your day. The first command removes all of the accumulated knowledge your system has about what packages are installed, meaning the third command will *only* know about pkg(8) for the forced update. Recovering from this situation is quite painful. Even if you did manage to save a list of installed packages this is still undesirable: you will re-write pretty much everything under /usr/local to no real benefit. First, check /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf and /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf for typos. Use `pkg -vv` and look at the 'Repositories' section at the end of that output to see the ultimate repository configuration pkg(8) is using. --hK5WOiRQ59yQcU5utzv98qtzHRBnyzcJA-- --rlyG7XdoaUm1i2KtwELLlG00sfaBWqtpo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEGfFU7L8RLlBUTj8wAFE/EOCp5OcFAl7d2kNfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDE5 RjE1NEVDQkYxMTJFNTA1NDRFM0YzMDAwNTEzRjEwRTBBOUU0RTcACgkQAFE/EOCp 5OfAbw//dHpxAtOKXjc52FrfWULBUfe95jhPQlT0kuPOxPSVlK2N1hEhYldUBlHo iboPMWx7aa/GaDmhN+KQnpvHGqLqT0GE6buSN5KYYl1k1i1kglOv00DKWYR30K44 mzVc5bZSFGISRLY5z32/I5MSciGjKhXzXAeQe57ZysqWnI4x63DNAnbSmdAgtc0B Cj9EpTRd4kIMydHzo0ejYScctTuqGgT0setxxDUlPbn/s6HEqt+WJFwDF42IBCUi vLCN2X1n8NPsR73BCFd0f+o+q6v0G070xw/VM51MHy5O8K0WAQc4XkHERoI1Jr9H Mj53OPF5Vvsx5/5PolwP8XBQ+zlmami/6AiqPWHl9vLvl8f/Y5TiytBB5w9px32R zjgvGJFfSKsGBeB44OTrUrZQ0OnxCIEyCfXjkUgmWKTpsT4dzIM45t88vchctdPF Cp/7aWDoYucfvZOBwkIrS+Q2rqM57Z+MiYFhiqGJwOjEtFZcZi+PZCqlBYSEZvf5 JggM9vRXLctOupGUQaIrtqJEsC9IbwYG7TPhSgWHlEZXWU71XyqZDEAsoydLbAn/ t4iN/40zRJ91BAjBQQCU8Q8BOFtAXLHleS19tWdWjn6lJVdXvWadVt5GCviAUzin lrg5NLBu9PtfEHCUujzx1EKxrDVLHhvYb1lec4W/XhspNYl7sJU= =VkOu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rlyG7XdoaUm1i2KtwELLlG00sfaBWqtpo--
