I came across the below today while rebuilding one of my boxes. It appears the perl.tbz symlink in Latest/ on the FTP mirrors has gone missing:
gujoja# pkg_add -r perl Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/perl.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/perl.tbz' by URL gujoja# ftp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/ Trying 204.152.184.73...
