I ran into a problem where I needed to reinstall a package. However, I
did not have network access to the pkg repository. I did have a system
which had all of the pkgs which I needed in the pkg cache. I can easily
copy these to the system, as well as the pkg database, etc.
So: is there a SIMPLE way to have pkg check to see if a pkg is already
in the pkg cache and use that before trying to go to the repository?
Is there a SIMPLE way to prevent pkg from trying to check the pkg
repository for an update?
I strongly suspect that something like:
pkg --do_not_check_for_latest_version --use_cached_pkg install firefox
Any help on this before I tear out the three strands of hair I have left
would be appreciated.
