I have no expecation other than that if the freebsd site indicates that a
package is available, that it should be there. It provides a link to a
supposed package, which does not exist.
And your comment of "for years" makes no sense when applied to versions of
the OS which haven't existed for more than a few months. (not that it
isn't true, but it certainly defies basic logic, no?)
I'm checking for a package for 5.3-release, which is only a few months old.
It indicates that a package exists, and provides a URL. The URL fails
indicating the file isn't found.
... and "my expectations are broken" ?
Can you really think of nothing else wrong here?
