Reinstall happenses with the pairs of deinstallation and installation, thus, losing track with pkgs to be used for reinstall causes the pkgs to be lost. I think topics in forums.freebsd.org below would be relevant. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-2-0-0-problems.96540/#post-687349 https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-2-0-0-problems.96540/page-2#post-687378 There could be multiple options. One is as Yuri described. Forcibly fetch (again) all needed pkgs before starting actual processes. Another I can think of is what (at least) portupgrade[-devel] and pkg_replace is doing. Backup (by `pkg create` or archive files listed in [previous] pkg-plist saved), deinstall, and once reinstall fails, restore from backup. Then the admin can wait for the updates with the system working. Maybe more (better, I expect) options would be existing. Anyway, according to the error, pkg seems to looking for its cache (/var/cache/pkg/) only and the issue persists, IMHO. And according to this behaviour, I'm currently using `pkg_replace -R -PP <leaves that were unintentionally lost>` to restore my computer. I have copies of all locally built pkgs with poudriere in /usr/ports/packages/All/ including older versions. So this is possible for me. (Using sysutils/clone to copy updated files from local repo by poudriere.) Regards. -- Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp>
