Hi all,

I recently upgraded my ports directory. I wanted to install packages using sysin
stall, so I created a directory /usr/ports/packages and copied the index file to
 it. However, when I run sysinstall and choose packages from an existing system
(bash) I get an error:

Unable to fetch package bash-2.05b.007 from selected media. No package add will
be done.

 I'm running Freebsd 5.1.
