Unable to install xorg using pkg_add
Hello, I just installed FreeBSD last night using the bootonly image for 9.0-RELEASE. I then updated to 9.1-RELEASE using freebsd-update. Everything seems to have gone smoothly but now I'm getting the below error when trying to isntall xorg. Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/xorg.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch ' ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/xorg.tbz' by URL output of uname -a FreeBSD freebsd 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Because of the security incident (http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html) all of the package building cluster is temporarily quarantined. So there aren't any packages built for 9.1-RELEASE. You should be able to use pkg_tools packages built for any 9.x release or stable/9 if you can locate them on the FTP servers (although these will be at least about 2 months old by now) or you can grab the ports (use of portsnap recommended) and build your own.

Re: Unable to install xorg using pkg_add
Read the 9.1 Release notes. This is the expected behavior. You'll need the DVD iso or build from ports to get xorg going in 9.1 right now.

Regarding to your issue, take a look at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/ , there's no 9.1, IIUC you need to use stable.

Regards, Ralf Add this to your /root/.cshrc file setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports /i386/packages-current/Latest/ and when you su to root your pkg_add -r command will now get current packages. Its still 6 weeks old, but it's the best FreeBSD has to offer right now for 9.1 users.
