[Solved] pkg: Repository has no meta file

[Hooman]

Hello
I can't update and install any package with pkg.
For" pkg update" show: freebsd has no meta file, using default settings
pkg : http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz : No addres record
Unable to update repository freebsd

I have seen this a couple of times, but not enough to write a bug report. For some reason, DNS / resolver doesn't work initially.
Try to ping pkg.freebsd.org before starting with pkg. Like this ping pkg.freebsd.org
That helped for me.

May be it is a temporary error. It seems that the host name could not be resolved. I have opened the link in a browser and I could see packagesite.txz.

Host name lookup failure
just a few websites give ping such as google

I have no problem with my android. I have access to pkg.freebsd.org

Solved!
I edit /etc/resolve.conf and put following codes:

domain domain.com
nameserver 192.168.0.100
nameserver 8.8.4.4
