Uhh... Well my first bet when trying to find stuff on FTP would be
to follow the path that the address given tries to specify. Had you
tried, you would have found that packages-5.3-release doesn't exist
under ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/. This would
have led you to wonder how to change the site pkg_add -r uses for
packages. This, appropriately enough, is set in the environment
variable PACKAGESITE, which you could have found by googling the
archives (this question came up maybe a week ago) or reading the
man page.
My recommendation would be:
o Set PACKAGESITE to:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/
o pkg_add -rf portupgrade
o portupgrade -arfP
Ok thanks. I have done this...
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/
packages-5-stable/
and im still getting the same error.
Show us the error, it can't be precisely the same one since you
changed the environment variable.
i set the PACKAGESITE... then
pkg_add -r gnome2
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/
packages-5-stable/gnome2.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., not found, no
access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
i386/packages-5-stable/gnome2.tbz' by URL
