      Hi there!

      When installing the nmap-5.00 package the package manager tries to fetch lua-5.1.4, pkgconfig-0.23_1 and pcre-8.00 from /packages/80/All/. However, all packages are located at /packages/8/All/.

      The GUI does not mention any errors during the installation procedure. However, the log file (/var/tmp/pkg_mgr_nmap.log) reveals the following:

      
      ...
      pkg-config-0.23_1 Array

      )
      ...
      
      

      Best regards,

          Hi there!

          Thx for the reply. I just reinstalled the nmap-package. Running nmap from the console results in the following:

          
          [root@betatest.local]/var/tmp(32): nmap
          /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpcap.so.3" not found, required by "nmap"
          
          root@betatest.local]/var/tmp(33): uname -a
          FreeBSD betatest.local 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Sat May  1 18:49:51 EDT 2010     sullrich@FreeBSD_8.0_pfSense_2.0-snaps.pfsense.org:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_wrap.8.i386  i386
          
          

          Interestingly, the +CONTENTS file of the nmap-package does not list any dependencies anymore:

          
          [root@betatest.local]/(145): grep "pkgdep" /var/db/pkg/nmap-5.00/+CONTENTS | wc -l
                 0
          
          

          Regards,
          dsd
