      Hi there.

      Recently updated to 2.1.5. Everything was fine, till today. I can't install packages using pkg_add command. Particular:
      pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/wget.tbz

      It downloaded file but did not install it.

      Why is it so? This was working fine on previous version…  :-\

          thanks man…

          After reboot, it began working again. Installed package using very same command with no problems...

          Weird...

            You should probably use the 8.3 link instead for future pkg adds. When you install a pkg, you might need to run the following command (your reboot also fixed it) after you install the pkg for the pkg to be accessible.

            rehash
