Thank you for the info Ronald. You are correct BBB is ARMv6. (according to uname -p) Checking http://pkg.freebsd.org/ is actually that, for FreeBSD-11.1 the directories containing vlc and ffmpeg are: LATEST --> yes QUARTERLY ---> no RELEASE2 --> yes So, considering i downloaded the ports with portsnap a few days ago they shoud be the latest available. And my packages must be taken from QUARTERLY, this would make sense, since i don't see "vlc" and "ffmpeg". I have a few newbye question, -] How do I check from which reposotory/directory my *pkg* is taking the packages ? -] Is it possible to change it ? I read around in many man pages but i can't find it. bye Nicola -- -------------------------- Dr. Nicola Mingotti R&D - Borghi Srl CTO - BondInsider --------------------------
