Looks like it's missing some dependencies… I'll look into it.

jimp · Dec 9, 2010, 3:46 PM

Can you try to install it again now?

merlin · Dec 14, 2010, 8:08 PM

Reinstalled… Now works fine... Thank you...

Hi
I had the same problem. Reinstalled the package, got the same error as original poster when I tried to start the service manually.
Then I upgraded from Dec 6 to latest (Dec 14) and then tried to install the package again.

The url's that it is trying to download from are wrong:

http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/python26-2.6.5.tbz
should be:
http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/python26-2.6.5_1.tbz

http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-RELEASE/Latest/python26-2.6.5.tbz
should be:
http://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python26.tbz

The same for this one.

Solved this by installing manually:

pkg_add -r python
pkg_add -r icu

The package wasn't being recompiled correctly during the nightly builds and missed some dependencies again. I've got it recompiling now, might be fixed soon.

leo24 · Dec 15, 2010, 3:01 PM

OK, thanks jimp.

jimp · Dec 15, 2010, 9:22 PM

Can you try to reinstall now?

Reinstalled ok
