Solved py-impacket pkg download error

sremick

So I haven't been able to update my packages in a while because they get stuck trying to update py-impacket. Specifically, py39-impacket-0.11.0.pkg

FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3

I've tried specifying specific pkg mirrors to no avail (including the one that the pkg maintainer says should work)... they always fail once they get to py-impacket:

Code: 
Fetching py39-impacket-0.11.0.pkg:  98%    2 MiB   0.0kB/s  - stalled -
pkg: cached package py39-impacket-0.11.0: missing or size mismatch, fetching from remote
pkg: An error occured while fetching package

Sometime it even gets to 99% but it always fails the same way.

I don't get this with any other of my packages. In fact, I cannot remember ever seeing this error before on any package in the past. So I'm not sure how to proceed. I'd be happy to work around the issue for now if there was a place I could manually download an intact py39-impacket-0.11.0.pkg and put it into my pkg cache directory.

Assuming your platform is amd64 (if not, change accordigly), try

fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/All/py39-impacket-0.11.0.pkg

Instead of latest you can set also quarterly.

Thanks! That downloaded (seemingly) ok with a file of 1886964 bytes. I placed it into /var/cache/pkg but for some reason my system still tries to download it when I do pkg upgrade. Am I missing a step?

Try pkg add that package from the local cache, then return to pkg upgrade.

Even though it doesn't state it, I know it's the py39-impacket install that's kicking this error.

Seems like a circular-depedency? py-impacket depends on py-markupsafe, but py-markupsafe depends on py-impacket?

Seems things keep coming back to a dependency to py-impacket.
 
pkg update -f should have corrected the size mismatch.

Not sure what the cause could be, don't know what else to suggest, except maybe a workaround. But it might not work (again size missmatch).

I always fetch the packages from the remote package repository in a local repository, to distribuit them to multiple systems.

For example:
pkg install -n py39-blinker > newinstall

Clean up the file so only package names remain.

I do that with pkg upgrade -n > textfile and neovim (global remove pattern).

pkg fetch -o /var/cache/pkg `cat newinstall`

That will download the files under /var/cache/pkg/All (if pkg doesn't complain again). From there

pkg add *
 
Well, that didn't work either, but unsurprising as it's ultimately the same as pkg fetch py39-impacket which produces the ongoing error:

Figured it out. For some reason, this one package (and only this one package) had an issue with the double-NAT environment that a VirtualBox VM defaults to. I switched to "Bind" for the network connection and then it was happy.

Not sure what's special about downloading py-impacket that isn't triggered by any other packages, but whatever. Mystery solved. :)
