Hello,

I am having a problem with installing packages with pkgng on FreeBSD  
FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE amd64. For example when I try to install  
Thunderbird:

1) Search

root@ws1:/home/mpeterma # pkg search thunderbird
...
thunderbird-31.0
...

2) Install

root@ws1:/home/mpeterma # pkg install thunderbird
...

The latter cannot find the appropriate package. I just looked at

    http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/

and found out that Thunderbird is already on version 31.1.0 there.

Is there any way to force pkgng to refresh the catalog?
"pkg update" doesn't do the trick for me.


Thanks in advance & kind regards,
Matthias
