Vnstat2

[johnpoz]

Not working - tried uninstall/reinstall, just not working

I think there is a mismatch in other packages, etc.  I show current vnstat as vnstat-1.11

the package require newer versions of dependencies.

try upgrading each one with pkg_add before installing vnstat2 again.

the base dir for them is the same as vnstat

Yeah I tried that and you get this error

pkg_add: package 'expat-2.0.1_2' or its older version already installed

pkg_info

expat-2.0.1_1      XML 1.0 parser written in C

How do you install the packages when the older ones already there, can not remove them and then install new one because other things dependent, etc.

Seems to me that the image we are running is just out of wack for packages??

Try to install vnstat from 8.1 FTP archive

[johnpoz]

and where is that?  Do not see it listed

ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/

there is 8 stable and 8.2

If you use ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/

Same thing.

that seems to have cleared it up..

ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/vnstat-1.10_2.tbz

sucks my database got loss in all the mess - but that seems to be working, will check on it to see if actually logging traffic, etc.

THANKS!!!
