I have a freshly installed 5.3-RELEASE system configured and am trying
to add a few packages using the 'pkg_add -r' command, but I get errors
for all packages similar to the following:


Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest
/fastest-cvsup.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Lates
t/fastest-cvsup.tbz' by URL


I noticed that the FTP site does not have a 'packages-5.3-RELEASE'
directory, but only a 'packages-5-stable' and a 'packages-5.4-release'
directory.

Does this have to do something with the fact that my system 'RELEASE
NAME' variable is '5.3-RELEASE'?  If so, how do I work around this?

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Chris
