For a client I tried PkgBase and followed the procedures recommended (first build the OS from /usr/src/, installworld/kernel, then proceed with pkg update -r FreeBSD-base and pkg install -g 'FreeBSD-*'.
This doesn't work for any update I try to apply. Since the target host is a two years old Intel NUC based on some Broadwell snail CPU, building world and kernel is performed on another, much more potent host. In the first place, when performing a "pkg upgrade", the system complains about mismatching OSVERSION, 1200055 forthe running system, and 1200056 for the packages to be updated. When setting env OSVERSION=1200056, pkg (not pkg-static!) complains about revision numbers (the long date trailing the package's name), for instance the newest one is FreeBSD-hast-12.0.s20180123050738.txz contained within the repository to be used for the update, but installed is something older, like FreeBSD-hast-12.0.s20171103114456.txz. When trying pkg-static, I get a crash of pkg-static, segmentation fault is its death-cause. How am I supposed to update a base system via PkgBase? Kind regards, oh p.s. sorry for the lack of data, the box in question is on a remote site without net. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
