That's strange. Perhaps PKGNG hasn't been initialised properly on your system(s), that's all I can think of at the moment. Did you use pkg2ng? > Are we forced to now go to binary packages only? No, of course not. However, it might be that Portmaster cannot handle *installing* binary packages in the new format. I'm not sure because I let Portmaster build PKGNG-style binary packages and use PKGNG to install those on other jails/systems, but I seem to recall something along the lines of Portmaster not yet being able to use PKGNG-style binary package repositories. I might be way off here, though. AvW --=20 I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example. --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTk3SRAAoJEAfP7gJTaCe8KEIQANbnGTNJdqLH2cuhPP2WRK/q PrvJvsOL+pva791r1+pPj5U6WZcemVZ2P1GM5h3fim0Q8PKNDTFLZUgnivfgNumD dkil1r+IRctJhdeiILIL3UtS/x0XWMKpMNJJbuAmkSIojJdMyhcRup4GLsxEhD9+ V+8AsJjB+v+HoAg7/Vh0yQoXg4DkW5fxrZmbIlrd5nJFCeD/yuqmc/ljltWrzskh Bkkju8ihn1IB0ms4oUNqqqo1NDOTMFtpNJlpm6eBUwsxH/GB64RKpgRsLCEmRCGB vMI6Kcw0k78Qsa8FF0rMDVkRmOLEpPhrLI308mjNw7RcEP5X6F/oFwXG4iKfK5b8 vEy2AzYwCIeO4cCcoRTelcPOnBp6CKCDBCsExB+vctUh378+9pRoMCvV4vVSYwAj n5pQvA5n99Uyicry/hd/qNsESUb0RDlik7HTntcdtzdzW3IctHtFNK/qiwGYLMN8 M/4+ac74rm30E8ARTJNe1L9Y7F4f3Rx87R2rJU6n8I34mP7b+xPTiNq/5P4ec18v DKHC0NMh/O5sZaWPFTiUDa0Q1i4NUlnrwSJRrv1tXZKuvRo09WE/nMR6pgEsU47r aOpFRwjlniUVYzIxX83hAAFr3e973vwNI0hq1S0HG/o0Yw7A49LgLLQehuHvn8AW Sgz2uX1zCE62MeBibhSV =8Wko -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24--
