Doesn't appear to solve the issue. netsurf is in the repositories. This appears to be an i386 built issue as for others the 64bit build is behaving properly.

first see if pkg is up to date.

sudo pkg info pkg

if you don't have the same version that I have try:

Code: Select all

pkg install -f pkg
I have no Idea what is the state of the repository of FreeBSD for i386 but it should be close from amd64.
Netsurf is in amd64 repository

Code: Select all

ericbsd@ericbsd ~> pkg search netsurf
netsurf-3.0_4
ericbsd@ericbsd ~> 
I will install i386 and see for my self.

pysolfc is in the FreeBSD repository :-
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:6 ... -2.0_5.txz

pysolfc package can be downloaded OK from the above URL; I have it on my disk

Something needs to be updated.

Where can I find the file for which repository is being used by pkg on GhostBSD?

GhostBSD uses the default FreeBSD system repos. You should use sudo for pkgng because pkgng will try to update its database and if it needs to update its database your user can read only the database not write it.

So, it doesn't work, whether I use sudo or from a root terminal.

No matter what I try, I just get,

Looks like the pkg database is corrupted I might have done something wrong, anyway I am repackaging the system and I will try to build back from zero and release a RC2 as soon as possible.

No sweat. Since I am coming in fresh I am looking at it that I maybe doing something wrong. Plus by doing all the Terminal work I am learning more about FreeBSD and can appreciate it and what you are doing more. I just wish I remembered what I did under real hardware to correct the issue. I don't think I did any different commands but it did ask me if I wanted to deinstall and rebuild things but I didn't document it.

Ok, I have found a fix for the problem, you need to run the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo pkg update -f
