I just did a cvsup src-all on RELENG_4_6 and am now running (according to
sysinstall options) 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10.
When I try to add some additional packages using passive FTP from
ftp.freebsd.org, I get an error stating something like "can't find packages
for release 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10." When I change the Release Name to "any" I
get the following error message:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xUnable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media. x
x x
xThis may be because the packages collection is not available x
xon the distribution media you've chosen, most likely an FTP site x
xwithout the packages collection mirrored. Please verify that x
xyour media, or your path to the media, is correct and try again. x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm sure the packages are there because I can browse to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/
Anyone know how to get around this? I'd use pkg_add by hand and pull down
the tgz files using the URL above, but this doesn't always get the necessary
dependencies like sysinstall seems to do. Is there a pkg_add flag to use to
check for dependencies before trying the install?
