>Number: 156286 >Category: ports >Synopsis: apt port tries to pull from incorrect URL >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-ports-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Apr 09 00:10:10 UTC 2011 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jesse >Release: 8.1-release >Organization: RM >Environment: freebsd-6648 8.1-RELEASE >Description: After installing the sysutils/apt port, running the command apt-get update results in errors because apt-get is trying to pull from the invalid "binary-freebsd-i386" architecture. For example, apt-get will attempt to download from http://ftp.debian.org/dists/squeeze/main/binary-freebsd-i386/Packages.gz The above is an invalid URL and should instead read http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-kfreebsd-i386/Packages.gz Note the leading "k" in "binary-kfreebsd-i386". >How-To-Repeat: 1. Install the sysutils/apt port (pkg_add -r apt) 2. Create the required directories mkdir -p /var/db/apt/state/lists/partial mkdir -p /var/db/apt/cache/archives/partial mkdir -p /var/db/dpkg touch /var/db/dpkg/status 3. Run the apt-get update command /usr/local/bin/apt-get update >Fix: The apt program should be patched to draw from Debian's "binary-kfreebsd-i386" repositories. Or, if possible, patched to import the system's arch from a configuration file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
