      Hi all! I have a problem. I am trying to install a package, but the local ftp (packages-6.2-release) (pkg_add) no longer exists, this place has changed for packages-7-stable, how do I change the place to search for packages? thanks for help!

        I've got the same problem right now (see two posts down about freeradius, I'm desperate here!)

        I'm having trouble getting freeradius to install on me, its being REALLY tempermental to say the least. The best I could do was to manually do the download with pkg_add (url here). The problem is, I don't get the pretty web front end to config the package after I installed it. Not sure if that wasn't because I didn't force the install with -f and as a result it didn't get through all the dependencies or not though.

        Hope I could help a bit, though its the blind leading the blind, heh.

          This has been touched upon in at least one other thread.  The problem is that FreeBSD 6.x has moved from 6.2 (which pfSense is based upon) to 6.3 and the binary packages are now only released for 6.3.  Installing packages for a non 6.2 release will be problematic, and you really don't want to install a package for 7.0 on 6.2.

          However, I don't know if anybody has raised a bug or otherwise brought this to the attention of the core team.  Until that happens I doubt this will ever get fixed.

            We just discovered this and are discussing a fix.

              Is there already a solution for that problem?

              I just discovered, that installing redir from packages did not work. The workaround was to use pkg_add -r {url to 6.3 package}.

                You could try the following:

                setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/

                Then pkg_add -r redir

                  pkg_add -r nano

                  Fetching ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/nano.tbz… Done.

                  pkg_add: warning: package 'nano-2.0.7' requires 'gettext-0.16.1_3', but 'gettext-0.14.5_2' is installed

                  #pkg_version -v

                  nano

                      or learn to use vi, which is already installed. . .
