 Hello all,

 I get that error, it should be cause by the fact that my system is not so 
 new, am I wrong ? Any solution on that ?
 

Try:

env 
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-9.0-releases/Latest/
 pkg_add -r vim-lite

NOTE: That is a single command to be written on a single-line.

As a side discussion... (opening a can of squiggly worms here)

It's often bothered me that the tools don't know about the archive (which goes 
back a long ways and has a very consistent and structured layout).

So in authoring the latest tool (bsdconfig(8)), I made sure that the archive is 
checked (grep archive media/ftp.subr from SVN r247280).

Don't know if that was the right move, but here @ Vicor, we've been [ab]using 
the archive for .. over a decade? (looks at julian to chime in if he used the 
archive before I got here).

But I for one would like to see the archive to maintain its steady growth and 
be available.

Of course, the change to look in the archive seemed (to me at least) to be a 
pretty innocuous one (if the archive goes away, they're back to where they 
started... no working URLs).

Just wondering why for so long the archive has never been checked by tools when 
(imho) that only serves to break old releases sooner with respect to 
remote-fetch of a binary release file (e.g., pkg or dist, etc.).
