Pkg system outage?

I'm trying to upgrade my packages and install others....
Code: 
root@atlantis1:~ # pkg upgrade
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

(just hangs)

root@atlantis1:~ # pkg install virtualbox-ose
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
(ports seems to be ok.... however, virtualbox-ose hits errors on some of its requirements - I had to remove VNC due to a checksum error)

Thank you!
 
My MTA is refusing mailinglist mails because of DNS issues. Looks like there's a mishap with FreeBSD's DNS at the moment.
 
Indeed. Address resolution problem:
Code: 
Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:armv7/quarterly, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:armv7/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz: No address record
Address resolution failed for http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:armv7/quarterly.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE.
 
I haven't been able to contact the FreeBSD pkg server since yesterday at around 2 PM EST and no response to ping either. Just have to wait and see what happens. :)
 
Still no luck.

Might be an issue with the GeoIP, it might be specific to a region. I'm able to resolve it just fine:
Code: 
dice@maelcum:~ % dig pkg.freebsd.org +short
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org.
96.47.72.71
 
That does look like the issue.
It connected for a bit but dropped off. Probably getting hammered since its been offline.
Code: 
[8/116] Fetching libgeotiff-1.7.1_1.pkg: 100%  107 KiB 109.6kB/s    00:01   
pkg: http://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/rust-1.65.0.pkg: No address record
 
I am going to exercise patience. This thing is probably going to need some time to correct itself, at least in my area. And my constant trying to see if it is the firewall or DNS is probably not going to help it. So I will step back until tomorrow evening. At least I can do that. If this were a production thing I would probably be pulling my hair out.
 
Glad I'm not the only one! I just started using T-Mobile Home Internet in the US and was having issues looking up download.freebsd.org and pkg.freebsd.org on my poudriere box. I noted T-Mobile is using Transparent DNS Proxy and there's no way to use any other DNS servers out there. I connected to my work VPN and was able to resolve the freebsd.org hostnames just fine.

I'll just sit back and wait.
 
Here too, in North Virginia region (AWS EC2 Machine)

# poudriere ports -u -v -p HEAD

[00:00:00] Updating portstree "HEAD" with git+https...fatal: unable to access 'https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git/': Could not resolve host: git.FreeBSD.org

# dig git.freebsd.org

Installing release 13.1 After several attempts to get the pkg tool installed during install, each time I am told the address has failed.

No address of record
pkg: Error fetching http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly
The response is "Consider changing PACKAGESITE.
How can I locate a different PKG site? Searching for it on google has not been successfull as yet although I do see others having the problem over time.
 
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org has address 147.28.184.43
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org has address 213.138.116.73
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org has IPv6 address 2604:1380:4091:a001::50:2
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org has address 196.10.53.168
 
This does seem regional. My home server (USA-midwest) can't access pkg.freebsd but if I VPN into london from my PC, it resolves.
 
Code: 
Other mirrors:

    pkg0.bbt.freebsd.org
    pkg0.bme.freebsd.org
    pkg0.bra.freebsd.org
    pkg0.fra.freebsd.org
    pkg0.jinx.freebsd.org
    pkg0.kul.freebsd.org
    pkg0.kwc.freebsd.org
    pkg0.syd.freebsd.org
    pkg0.tuk.freebsd.org
    pkg0.twn.freebsd.org

There appears to be a regional issue with resolving pkg.freebsd.org at the moment. Not sure why or where but several people reported issues while others, like me, don't seem to have a problem. See if you can resolve any of these servers directly.

Just create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:
Code: 
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://<packagemirror>/${ABI}/quarterly"
}

Thank you sir. I'm curious how you found those so easy!
Help much appreciated. Amd FYI , this one
213.138.116.73
hit paydirt right away:
And now I see: "FreeBSD repository is up to date"

All of the servers cited here are resolving for me now, plus pkg.freebsd.org and download.freebsd.org.

google for public dns servers in different geographic areas and ask them for pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org
there also might be a list somewhere from where SirDice got them
