Problems with Jails - Strange behaviour

[eddi1984]

Hi folks,

I have a problem with Jails (and maybe FreeNAS).

I have been trying to do this already on FreeNAS 9.3 and now on 9.10 with no success.

I am attempting to install qBitTorrent manually in a jail. There is a tutorial here in the forum that I am following. Unfortunately, I cannot use some basic commands, like:

Code:

pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg install nano
portmaster

I tried pkg-static bootstrap -f and got this result:

Code:

root@Torrent:/ # pkg-static bootstrap -f
pkg(8) is already installed. Forcing reinstallation through pkg(7).
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest, please wait...
pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected.  Running "pkg-static install -f pkg" recommended
[Torrent] Installing pkg-1.7.1...
pkg-static: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:9:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:10:amd64
package pkg is already installed, forced install
[Torrent] Extracting pkg-1.7.1: 100%

Running uname -a in the jail gives me this:

Code:

root@Torrent:/ # uname -a
FreeBSD Torrent 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #0 52dd777(freebsd10): Fri Mar 25 14:48:36 PDT 2016     root@build.ixsystems.com:/tank/home/nightlies/build-freenas9/_BE/objs/tank/home/nightlies/build-freenas9/_BE/trueos/sys/FreeNAS.amd64  amd64

Running uname -a in FreeNAS I get this:

Code:

[root@freenas] /# uname -a
FreeBSD freenas.oldman.local 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #0 52dd777(freebsd10): Fri Mar 25 14:48:36 PDT 2016     root@build.ixsystems.com:/tank/home/nightlies/build-freenas9/_BE/objs/tank/home/nightlies/build-freenas9/_BE/trueos/sys/FreeNAS.amd64  amd64

I cannot install nano, I get this:

Code:

[root@freenas] /# pkg install nano
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
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The most recent version of packages are already installed

EDIT:
Here is the pkg repo:

Code:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: yes
}

/EDIT


Running the above suggested pkg-static install -f pkg has this result:

Code:

[root@freenas] /# pkg-static install -f pkg
Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg-static: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg-static: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local
All repositories are up-to-date.
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
        pkg-1.6.2

4 MiB to be downloaded.

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
pkg-static: archive_read_open_filename(/usr/ports/packages/All/pkg-1.6.2.txz): Failed to open '/usr/ports/packages/All/pkg-1.6.2.txz'

Basically nothing is working. I cannot use pkg, portmaster etc. I cannot install anything or use the jail in any meaningful way. How can I fix this?

One more thought. I thought that FreeNAS is actually running on FreeBSD 9.x, however, uname shows that it is FreeBSD 10.x ... strange.

Lastly, my current freeNAS version:

Code:

Current Train: FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE (Installed OS)

Hope somebody can help.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was able to fix it. I had to edit the FreeBSD.conf in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos.

Problem was, that it was referring to version 9 repo, so I changed it to 10.

Basically going from this:

Code:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: yes
}

to this:

Code:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: yes
}

After that I used these commands to fix pkg again, and than use pkg to update, upgrade and install stuff:

Code:

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap fetch update

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
make
make reinstall

Rebuilding the ports list was probably not necessary, however, I just wanted to make sure.

This fixed pkg for me.

Hope this helps somebody else out there.

Cheers,

Eddi

Hi,

thanks for the pointer. I was not aware of the bug report. Glad it will be fixed with a future update.

Cheers.
