I know it doesn't address the problem directly, but have you
tried using other methods of installing software on PC-BSD,
which are:
1. download a PBI and execute it
2. use pkg_add -r
3. use ports collection
I'm aware of the fact that this doesn't conform to PC-BSD's
software maintenance paradigm, but it should work. Mixing
PBI and ports/packages is possible, but discouraged.
