>Description:
Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a problem, i lack some technical internet knowledge here :(

But, when updating packages using "pkg_add -r" sometimes a message like 'unable to fetch package' appears.

$ host ftp.freebsd.org resolves two ftp server ipv4 numbers:

ftp.freebsd.org has address 204.152.184.73
ftp.freebsd.org has address 62.243.72.50

It appears that the contents of the directory pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest differ substantually at the moment. Some links refer to different versions or are missing.

Apologies if this is not a problem but a mistake of me.

With kind regards,

Ruud ter Laare
