port not listed

[Daniel Cruz Horts]

Hello,

I was trying to install sqlite3, so I searched for the port name as 
usual, via website. The url was 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=sqlite&stype=all , and a 
fragment of the resultset is shown below:

Then I prompted:
# pkg_add -r sqlite3
Error: FTP Unable to get 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest/sqlite3.tbz: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

Then I ftp'ed and found this:

ftp> cd Latest
250 "/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest" is new cwd.
ftp> ls sqli*
227 Entering Passive Mode (62,243,72,50,201,138)

../All/sqlite-2.8.17_1.tbz
226 Listing completed.


I then issued:
# pkg_add -r sqlite
and worked.

The problem is sqlite3 doesn't exists. sqlite IS the package formerly 
known as sqlite3, and sqlite2 is the package formerly known as sqlite.

Please kindly update the information, whenever you can do it.

Thanks for you time.
