Hello all,

I wanted to install the XFree86 package on my dusty new FreeBSD 5.0 box, yet
couldn't because the package is unavailable on both ftp.freebsd.org and the
NL
mirror (haven't checked others).

A listing from the right directory (determined by running "pkg_add -r
XFree86")
shows the following (from ftp.freebsd.org):

---8<---
ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.0-release/Latest" is cwd.
ftp> ls XFree86.*
227 Entering Passive Mode (62,243,72,50,221,153)
150 Data connection accepted from 213.46.105.205:1025; transfer starting.
lrwxr-xr-x   1 ftpuser  ftpusers        28 Jan 16 19:11 XFree86.tbz ->
../All/XFree86-4.2.0_1,1.tbz
226 Listing completed.
--->8--- 

That symlink should point to something in this directory:

---8<---
ftp> cd ../All
250 "/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.0-release/All" is new cwd.
ftp> ls X*
227 Entering Passive Mode (62,243,72,50,222,2)
150 Data connection accepted from 213.46.105.205:1025; transfer starting.
226 Listing completed.
--->8---

There aren't any XFree86 packages to be found at all!  Is the symlink
pointing
to the incorrect place, or are there actually packages missing?  Any
information is appreciated.
