pkg version without /usr/ports (pkgng)

[breefsd]

Hello,

I usually use a daily script that runs in my jails: pkg_version -I /foo/my_index_file where my_index_file is a copy of /usr/ports/INDEX-9 in the host, because I disable /usr/ports in my jails (the directory exists but is empty). I installed FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE. Now I use new PKGNG. I created a jail and I tried to do pkg version -I /foo/my_index_file. Then I get the following message:

pkg: Unable to open ports directory /usr/ports: No such file or directory

I can do pkg version -I in the host or in the jail if I mount /usr/ports.

Thanks.

You can use the -R flag of pkg-version(8) to force it to use the remote repository as the comparison for new versions.

I tried this in the host: pkg version -Rv. I get the following message:

Updating repository catalogue
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thanks.

Try removing some of the old repository files, they may be corrupted. rm /var/db/pkg/repo-*.

 

[breefsd]

No chance, I removed two /var/db/pkg/repo-* files, then I get the same result. Now I have one /var/db/pkg/repo-FreeBSD.sqlite file.

Just to add information, my /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: yes
}

Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Is ports-mgmt/pkg up to date? It should be at version 1.2.4_1 in the main host and in the jails.

 

[breefsd]

The version is 1.2.4_1 in the host and in the jail.
Thanks.

Just an edit:

pkg version -I
[...]
pkg-1.2.5                          =
[...]

and

pkg version -I foo/bar
[...]
pkg-1.2.5                          =
[...]

It seems pkg version -I uses /usr/ports/INDEX-9 anyway.

(note I updated ports-mgmt/pkg to 1.2.5)
