<![CDATA[How to install bash shell]]>Hi all,

I tried to install bash shell from FreeBSD binary package. But I got an error message when I called command "pkg_add -r bash".

[2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/root(11): pkg_add -r bash
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/bash.tbz: No address record
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/bash.tbz' by URL
[2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/root(12):

Whats wrong?

I saw something wrong. The command is calling two protocol in the same time. "http://ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/…"

Insert full path for package on pkg_add

amd64
pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/bash.tbz

i386
pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/bash.tbz
