Accidentally removed wget, now pkg repository isn't found

[profzelonka]

I thought I was running a command in a jail, but instead ran it in the main truenas shell.

Code:

pkg remove wget

It removed wget and wgetpaste (or something like that?)

Now I see this..

Code:

root@freenas[~]# pkg upgrade
Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local

I updated to 12.2-release-p3 hoping it would resolve it, nope..

Any ideas?

I would backup the configuration and reinstall TrueNAS.

I would backup the configuration and reinstall TrueNAS.

Would that require any reconfiguration? I have quite a bit of configured jails and pools and users as well as shared access to drives.

You don't have to reconfigure anything.

There's gotta be a way to get it back.. My server is headless so a reinstall would involve me obtaining a few other things before I can reinstall it to the same usb drive.

Any way to fetch pkg?

 

[profzelonka]

Went thru the trouble of reinstalling and.. issue persists. Of course it does - the files are in the pools, not the TrueNAS OS.....

How can I get pkg back on TrueNas??

I think you can download the package from the repo, upload via sftp, and install it that way.

 

[Jailer]

You shouldn't be using pkg to install anything on the base OS. If you need to install additional software do it in a jail.

What issue is it that you think you're seeing? That you can't do pkg upgrade in TrueNAS? That isn't an issue, that's intended behavior, as @Jailer says. If wget is present, the issue is resolved.

 

[profzelonka]

Oh, I wasn't aware that pkg upgrade isn't supposed to be run in base OS shell. Resolved then. Thank you.

i might be wrong and i might be posting this in wrong thread, so please point me in right direction.
TrueNAS-13.0-U3.1 (3153285d7d)

pkg update

pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory

Error updating repositories!

What should i do to resolv this?

Not run pkg commands on the base OS, as the second and third posts before yours in this thread make clear.

You make no mention of trying to do this from within a jail, so I will point out that you are not expected to be able to do this. TrueNAS is an appliance OS and you are not expected to be able to add or remove packages to the base OS. You can save off your configuration and reload the OS to restore your wget.
