Solved Adding packages in a FreeNAS Jail

Hi All,

Very new to FreeBSD. I have setup a FreeNAS box which works very well, and I want to learn more about FreeBSD by playing around in a FreeNAS jail.

I am having an issue with installing packages.
I have initially done a pkg update ; pkg upgrade which says everything is up to date.
However, when I go to install any package, I get a package not found error.

For example I try to install nano in the jail and I get:
Code: 
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/All/nano-2.2.6.txz: Not Found
If I go to the repo, I see that there is a newer package installed. Why does the update/upgrade not pick up the new versions?

This happens on any package, I try to install.
Is there a package setup that I need to do on FreeNAS before this all works?
 
Something is seriously out of date on your end. The nano package is at version 2.4.3. So 2.2.6 can't be found, because it doesn't exist any more.

Did you try pkg update -f and pkg upgrade?
 
I tried the -f option, and this is what I got:
Code: 
Updating repository catalogue
digests.txz  100% 2108KB 191.6KB/s 297.7KB/s  00:11

pkg: package field incomplete: comment

Are you using FreeNAS 9.10? 9.3 was based on FreeBSD 9.3, while 9.10 is based on FreeBSD 10.3. So you might need to change the "9" in FreeBSD.conf to "10".
