The following reply was made to PR misc/35267; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Kris Olander" <kriso@packetdesign.com> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, <johnoh99@yahoo.com> Cc: <bmah@packetdesign.com> Subject: Re: misc/35267: after cvsup src-all for 4.5, /stand/sysinstall pkg_add refuses update by ftp Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2002 10:41:54 -0700 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?
