>Description:
        'pkg install lang/ocaml' doesn't work, although /usr/ports/lang/ocaml exists, and works.
        Trying to install *ANY* ocaml package fails, due to a missing 'lang/ocaml' binary package

        I didn't modify /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:
        # $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 258710 2013-11-28 14:24:26Z gjb $
        FreeBSD: {
          url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
          mirror_type: "srv",
          signature_type: "fingerprints",
          fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
          enabled: yes
        }

        Is there something wrong with the mirror, or how did the binary package get lost?
        There are ocaml libraries available as binary packages, so at some point 'lang/ocaml' itself
        must've existed, no?


>How-To-Repeat:
        Install FreeBSD 10 amd64 in a VM using the FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso or FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
        Login as root, run /usr/sbin/pkg, tell it to fetch
        # pkg install lang/ocaml
        Updating repository catalogue
        pkg: No packages matching 'lang/ocaml' available in the repositories

>Fix:
        Build it from source:
        portsnap fetch
        portsnap extract
        cd /usr/ports/lang/ocaml
        make install
