pkg

Hi. My first post here and a FreeBSD user since 3.0. I've had to install FreeBSD at a location without Internet access. I manually bootstrapped pkg then updated the repository, all went fine. While at the office (where there is Internet), while I was burning the ISO, I was browsing through the...

Hi, after upgrading from FreeBSD 12.2 to 12.2-p2 from source, I messed up the mergemaster -Ui part, removing my user and all users created by ports installation like avahi, dbus, hal, polkit, etc. Since those are needed for a lot of stuff like running a window manager I'm stuck with the tty for...

Hi, I installed FreeBSD 12.2-Release image for the Raspberry Pi 3 and I was able to get most things up and running smoothly (pkg, sudo, xorg). However, when I try to install firefox with pkg install firefox, it gives me this message: Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository...

Hi, I'm wading through the molasses that is a FreeBSD upgrade. I want to use packages where available, however where pkg finds packages, portmaster does not: # portmaster -bdgy -PP devel/cmake ===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/devel/cmake ===>>> Gathering dependency list for devel/cmake...

This caused me a fair bit of grief last week, so hopefully this saves somebody else some. The issue is that after running freebsd-update on an existing system, to get to 12.2-RELEASE, that running pkg (or any fetch-related command), errors similar to the following turn up: Certificate...

Today, on FreeBSd-12.1p10, I ran a script that has been working on FreeBSD for years and got this result: env: perl: No such file or directory. Which is, to put it mildly, bizarre. So I checked for perl: which perl | echo $? ==> 1. So, no perl installed. So I checked that: pkg info -x...

This is a clean installation of 12.1 RELEASE version. I updated pkg and latest Gnome-3 packages including gnome-shell were downloaded and installed. Some packages were re-installed, after pkg prompting to do so. But, the gdm screen ends with this white error message. What I did was, clearing...

So, I have virtual machine with FreeBSD 12.1 RELEASE-p10 on ESXi 7. When I try to install pkg I get this: root@srv-freebsd:/home/user # pkg The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y...

Hi Freebsd Forum community, We run a large installation of Freebsd 11 and 12 servers that have historically utilized a local FreeBSD package repository mirror on-premise that we sync periodically. The method we have been using for years -- since the official repositories were poisoned a few...

Hi! I'm trying to revive an old Asus EEE PC using FreeBSD 12.1 install and so far everything works out of the box and I'm having a lot of fun configuring and setting stuff up! One of the things I'm facing is fitting everything onto a 4GB storage. I've seen a topic about minimal xorg install but...

For some personal interest reasons, I attempted to install FreeBSD 8 in a VM. When I try to pkg update it, it says http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:8:amd64/latest/ is 404ed. pkg.freebsd.org homepage listed versions 8 and 9, but all mirrors of them give me a 404. And http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org...

Hello Everyone, I am trying to locate the latest version of "ntopng", via pkg0.pkt.freebsd.org. I can (successfully) access https://pkg0.pkt.freebsd.org, via a web browser. However, as soon as I select a "server package set", I am presented with a "403 forbidden" message (from nginx). The other...

So I like having packages. But far too often I end up in situations like this: tingo@kg-core2$ openscad Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.14.2) with this library (5.15.0) Abort trap (core dumped) Fine, I'll just upgrade OpenSCAD then tingo@kg-core2$ sudo pkg update -f Updating FreeBSD...

Hi all! how are you? :) I have a Jail host which contains about 50 Jails. During day-to-day operations, I need to install packages, a lot of these packages are the same (nginx, vim-console, etc), it would be really good if I can make the Jail host a pkg cache server, where the Jails can use the...

Greetings to everyone. I wish to know if there is a way to install all pkg that contains some String like for instance : "zh-" as a filter. I know that I can do that on Debian based linux distros with commands like that : sudo apt-get install zh-* = will install all packages starting with...

Can you recommend a way to automatically check for new packages via cron? As a first step I added a daily pkg audit -q but this only lists vulnerable packages. pkg update does not what I want and pkg upgrade is one step too far. Is there maybe something similar to freebsd-update cron for packages?

After a fresh install of freebsd 12.1 I changed pkg repos to latest. Did a pkg update -f. I am unable to install Firefox. I get a message saying no packages available to install matching Firefox have been found in the repositories. Will someone be willing to assist me as to how to proceed...
