Hello,
I am having a problem with installing packages with pkgng on FreeBSD
FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE amd64. For example when I try to install
Thunderbird:
1) Search
root at ws1:/home/mpeterma # pkg search thunderbird
...
thunderbird-31.0
...
2) Install
root at ws1:/home/mpeterma # pkg install thunderbird
...
The latter cannot find the appropriate package. I just looked at
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/
and found out that Thunderbird is already on version 31.1.0 there.
Is there any way to force pkgng to refresh the catalog?
"pkg update" doesn't do the trick for me.
Thanks in advance & kind regards,
Matthias
