I ran pkg2ng and broke something

H

hlt32

I'm running FreeNAS 11.2-rc2.

I was trying to install vim and openvpn in a jail, but the packages were not found in the repo.

I followed some instructions I found to run pkg2ng, and received the following: https://pastebin.com/whdzNrf2

Now I can't update, upgrade, or install any packages - can someone please explain what I did wrong and how to start fixing this?

Thanks
 
I think I fixed it.

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf -> enabled: no
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf -> enabled: yes

then pkg update && pkg upgrade
 
You were reading some very outdated information, pkg2ng is from about 5 years ago when the transition from the old style packages to the pkg packages was realized and the pkg2ng tool was needed to convert the old style database to the pkg format.

After running the commands above you can then follow them with:

# pkg upgrade -f

This will reinstall every package on the system while keeping the configurations intact.
