Freebsd Pkg Reinstall
After this I upgraded to FreeBSD 10.0 i386 using freebsd-update -r 10.0-RELEASE upgrade, so after the initial upgrade it tells me to reinstall all packages, alrighty, no problem with the new ports-mgmt/pkg tool. Pkg upgrade was run, and lots of packages was reinstalled. But not all packages were reinstalled. Jan 14, 2015 Introduction. FreeBSD's binary package manager, pkg, can be used to easily manage the installation of pre-compiled applications, the FreeBSD equivalent Debian and RPM packages. When compared with the other prevalent method of software installation on FreeBSD, compiling ports with the Ports Collection, using packages provides a simpler. Search Software via PKG Command in FreeBSD. The easiest method to search and find an application in FreeBSD is via PKG package management command line. In order to search the binary packages for an application, for instance postfix software, issue the below command. # pkg search packagename. Jun 13, 2016 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p5, pkg 1.8.51. I use poudriere to build the net/netatalk3 port with a different set of options than the default. I have configured pkg to install from my poudriere repo before the FreeBSD one. This works as expected: # pkg install netatalk3 Updating FreeBSD. 5.3 Installing X11. Xorg or XFree86 ™ may be installed on FreeBSD. Beginning with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, Xorg is the default X11 implementation for FreeBSD.Xorg is the X server of the open source X Window System implementation released by the X.Org Foundation.Xorg is based on the code of XFree86 4.4RC2 and X11R6.6. The X.Org Foundation released X11R6.7 in April 2004 and X11R6.8.2 in February. My problem in detail:. Most of my packages are installed via pkg. A few packages are installed via ports because I need custom patches, debug information, different build options, etc. I (and probably quite a few others) need an option to reinstall a package via ports in a system generally maintained via pkg.
I recently performed a fresh install of 10.1-RELEASE (amd/x64_86) due to a botched upgrade. It seems like I'm missing basic utilities, like pkg_add. find / -name pkg_add is returning 0 hits (even when run as root). ports and portmaster seems to be missing too (the only hit is in usr/ports/port-mgmt/portmaster, and its a directory and not a program.
When I try to run the following to boot strap it:
Results in:
But according to Official FreeBSD Binary Packages now available for pkgng its supposed to just work..
I've also tried using setting PACKAGESITEports-mgmt/pkg; and setting PACKAGEROOT and ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org with no joy.
Also, this was not helpful: pkg_add: command not found. It does not seem to be a path problem because it cannot be found with find.
Why was a package manager not installed by default? Or why does it not work (am I doing something obviously wrong)???
How do I install the basic packages, like pkg_add?
Sorry about the basic question. pkg_add is what I use to install packages, so I'm a bit lost when its missing.

FreeBSD 10 uses the new Packagetool pkg instead of pkg_add.
Seehttps://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html
pkg install pkg and let it bootstrap / upgrade itself. Then use pkg install foo, etc. pkg_add does not exist anymore, as you've found out.
Yodot file recovery download. An avi file becomes unplayable when it gets corrupted or yodot mov repair activation code due to yodot mov repair activation code reasons. Fixing corrupted AVI file is no longer a difficult task!
I will second https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html .

I think our repo setup is similar to @bradleythughes'. We have the default FreeBSD repo + a private poudriere repo with a higher priority. |

Yes, our setups are very similar: |

I've just recompiled pkg 1.8.5_1 with this commit removed: 8cb02ca and now it works correctly for us. |
commented Jun 18, 2016
removing that commit would open the gates to way more dragons :( |

I don't know what this commit solves, but with it we can't update our FreeBSD machines anymore :-/ |
commented Jun 18, 2016
