I know it doesn't address the problem directly, but have you
tried using other methods of installing software on PC-BSD,
which are:

	1. download a PBI and execute it

	2. use pkg_add -r

	3. use ports collection

I'm aware of the fact that this doesn't conform to PC-BSD's
software maintenance paradigm, but it should work. Mixing
PBI and ports/packages is possible, but discouraged.
