PlexConnect (pkg_add) Issues

[lanky8804]

Today i have just upgraded my HDD's to 3x3TB and am rebuilding my jails however when i am trying to install some packages for plexconnect it is saying unable to fetch.

I am having this issue when installing these packages:

Code:

pkg_add -v -r python27
pkg_add -v -r bash

The error is as follows:

Code:

root@PlexConnect:/ # pkg_add -v -r python27

Any ideas?? never had this problem before when rebuilding my PlexConnect jail.

Thanks

It's possible that that package doesn't happen to exist at the moment. Assuming the Internet connection is good, you can always build the port instead.

Have copied the ftp address into web browser and the packages are no longer there for some reason??

Is this the latest version to be using? FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest

Ports isnt my preferred option as it takes up a lot of space, i also need to install 'git' which im not sure if it is available through port.

Yes. Not every port has an associated package at all times for various reasons.

You don't need to install git to get the ports tree as portsnap is built-in (you could use git as there is a pkg/port but that is the slow tedious way). Follow the instructions here: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Installing_non-PBI_Software#Compiling_FreeBSD_Ports_with_make.

Is a possible cause as old pkg not supported anymore as pkgng is now being introduced?

Could be.
