(Simple?) problem with pkg-add

Kucks

Hello,
This is my first post here, sorry if it's in the wrong section...
I'm trying to install firefox with pkg-add -r firefox, and here is the output (Using verbose)

Code: 
%pkg_add -r firefox

I'm as well connected to internet.
Has anyone an idea to solve this?

Thanks in advance
 
try
Code: 
# setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/
# pkg_add -r firefox

This way you will fetch latest version
 
Code: 
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/
Woks very well, thank you :)
 
Damn, I have some other errors now...

Looks like your system has quite old packages....
The easiest way, would be to backup everything, then remove all packages (pkg_delete -a) and pkg_add what you want/need
 
Well, I [cmd=]pkg_delete -a[/cmd] and I installed Xorg after a setenv.

But when I want to instal awesome (WM), I have the same error as my first post...

Any idea?

Removing everything under /usr/local and /var/db/pkg should be way faster and more radical.
 
Ok, I tried to upgrade the system before installing a wm, and here is what I've done:

I used this command:
Code: 
freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-RELEASE install
If I didn't use install, it simply was downloading the files, printing files but nothing else.
So I upgraded, and there was a message like "Upgraded to 8.1-RELEASE, please reboot", or something.

But now, when I boot, the system has troubles to load a USB component.
Here is the output:

Code: 
ugen1.2: <Microsoft Corporation> at usbus1
uhid1: <Microsoft Corporation Controller, rev2.00/1.10> on usbus1
Then it freezes, I have to press space, and it gives me this:
Code: 
panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 9m5ès
Cannot dump. Device not define or available

It's my Xbox 360 controller, but when I unplug it, I have the same error with my mouse (Saitek Cyborg V3)

I'm damned :(
 
Having similar problems installing xorg

Hi, I am having similar problems to Kucks. I am on Release 8.0 of FreeBSD, and I have a modified kernel to incorporate Company software and drivers, therefore upgrading to 8.1 is not feasible at this stage as it will trash the kernel.

We use this kernel on a number of platforms, but now we have a new platform, for which I have been told I need to install X Windows on top.

I have been following William Computer Blog on how to install x-windows on FreeBSD and am at the stage where I have typed pkg_add -r xorg (having set my PACKAGESITE env to packages-8-stable path for amd64).

When I run this command, like Kucks, I get errors about unable to find packages, here is the tail of the trace

Any ideas how I proceed to complete installation? I can't use pkg_delete -a and start again, and I can't upgrade to 8.1 (which my boss certainly does not want me to do). How do I get the missing packages or get them to install from the xorg installation?

thanks in advance

Andy
 
When I use packages, I always keep them locally in case something happens and the process is interrupted, so I can redo the process without downloading everything again. Add the following to root's .cshrc file:
Code: 
setenv PKGDIR /path/to/saved/packages
and use pkg_add()'s -K (keep) option in addition to -r (remote).


What you can do now is fetch the missing packages yourself and do a manual install using pkg_add without options.
 
My problem is that I get packages that won't install because it conflicts with an earlier version of that package that is installed. Is there a way of forcing these packages to update automatically to the one required? I do not really want to have to go through all the packages deleting the old version and then have to add the latest. For example I am trying to install xorg - then I get a complaint about the latest version of perl conflicting with a previously installed perl package, which then causes other packages to not install and so on. When there are numerous packages it gets very tedious.
