The problem arises if you had already created a jail _before_ you realized you forgot the -p switch. When you try to fetchindex it will tell you the error I originally posted. All you have to do on those jails that you created before fixing it with -p is just create the directory /var/ports inside each one of those jails. >From then on, the fetchindex will work and everything else will work as well. I'm guessing this would fix itself if you install a first port without fetching the index, which is probably what happened to me before when it seemed to start working. For the thread history i must conclude my last post on this was wrong and the actual way to fix it is by creating the directory in the problematic jails. Best, -- Alejandro Imass
