Yeah -- and the bootstrap pkg on pkgbeta is severely out of date and has some problems with the up to date DB schema. Use PACKAGESITE=3Dhttp://pkg-test.freebsd.org/pkg-test-${ABI}/latest That's the kit that will form the official FreeBSD package repository; it just lacks the crypto bits for signing the packages, which is why it's calling itself 'pkg-test' Oh -- there isn't an A record in the DNS for pkg-test.freebsd.org -- look up a SRV record for _http._tcp.pkg-test.freebsd.org instead. (Yes, this is counter to RFC 2616. https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/550 There are moves afoot to change to a new set of URL schemes: pkg+http://, pkg+https://, pkg+ssh:// etc. but these are still under development) Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
