How can I upgrade to python 2.6 or 3.1??
-
I've concluded that videocache must not be working right because of the version of python that I have… and I need to upgrade. However, pkg_add does not work because it pulls in the 2.5 version.
How can I upgrade?

pkg_delete -f the version you have and then pull them from a better URL.
If you are on pfSense 1.2.3-RELEASE, then it will probably be pulling packages from a URL like this:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/
You probably want that to be:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/
You can visit that URL in a browser to find the exact URL for the python version you want, as there are several:
