When trying to run make or portmaster I get the following error: You are about to convert your system to pkg while you have ports/packages installed with the old pkg_install tools. To switch to pkg: 1) Install ports-mgmt/pkg 2) Convert your package database by running pkg2ng *** [pre-everything] Error code 1 So it is telling me I cant install pkg without first installing pkg, it would be funny if it wasn't totally blocking my work :) I have two machines in this state that I must have forgotten to update to pkg. I have tried putting WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes in /etc/make.conf but that trick apparently does not work anymore. This system is: FreeBSD proxy2 9.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE #2 r269738: Sun Aug 10 12:01:22 MDT 2014 Do you know of a work around to get pkg installed? Do I need to downgrade to an earlier kernel? Thanks, -Tim Skinner
