I have a plex jail running on my 11.2-U6 FreeNAS server and I accidently messed up updating Plex. I am trying to update it via PMS_Updater script which I have done before but it complains that it can't find wget in the repo anymore? The script also needs perl5 and cs_root_nss and these it could find. I don't understand why it is reporting this at all. wget should be installed already in this jail since I have updated before via the script.

I saw this too. I downloaded the plex file on another machine, copied it over, renamed it and used the local file option to update Plex.

I ran in to this recently. I tried to update plex inside an old jail
created before 11.2. It failed so I decided to install from plugin
again and then update with PMS_Updater.

I had to enable the repositories
`/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf'.

,----
| sed 's/enabled: no/enabled: yes/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
`----

Then I had to install `wget' and `perl5' with pkg

,----
| pkg install wget
| pkg install perl5
`----

After that, I was able to successfully update the newly installed
plugin by running PMS_Updater.
