So pkg_add fails for everything... Running 10-CURRENT I have to set PACKAGESITE to http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/ It's been years since I've run a HEAD version of FreeBSD - maybe this is common knowledge. :) But It seems like there could be a symlink or something. Also, I'm still looking into it - but it seems like it would be good to have an easy way to 'reinstall' a package. It seems to be pretty stubborn when trying to deinstall/reinstall stuff. For example, after i upgraded from 9.0-RELEASE to 10-CURRENT, the thing was complaining about libintl, gettext, iconv. pkg_add was refusing to 'reinstall' (but this might be related my own ignorance), so I ended up going into ports and building, then the system was fulling operational, yay. However, it could be that these did not need to be "reinstalled". pkg_add was telling me I already had the latest versions installed, and when I finally got down to the meat of my problem I found that my /etc/rc was never replaced. Either I fat-fingered a mergemaster prompt (but I really thought I was paying close attention), or mergemaster missed it! :) There was no /var/tmp/temproot/etc/rc after mergemaster, and mergemaster reported that only two files were left to do by hand, which is what I had intended. (ie, groups, master.passwd) But doing a diff between /usr/src/etc/rc (i think) and /etc/rc I saw they were different, copied the file and 10-CURRENT ran perfectly.
