I suspect this is a upgraded system that has maunualy changes in the repo file. Locate the file "/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf" and make sure it looks like the following lines (the variable ${ABI} instead "freebsd:8:x86:64") (it is possible a correct copy exists in /usr/src/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf) FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } after fixing the repo run $ pkg update -f -- olli
