Hi Kurt, In case your repo is defined this way on your host Repositories: $reponame: { ... copy also the $reponame.meta and repo-$reponame.sqlite from /var/db/pkg to the jail. Additional set "REPO_AUTOUPDATE = false" in the pkg.conf from the jail. Now the jail has all references for the packages and the update should work. -- olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
