SOLVED Unable to install py27-sqlite3 in jail

[Anonymouslemming]

I'm unable to install py27-sqlite3 in a jail.

When I run pkg_add py27-sqlite3, I get the following error:

pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/All/py27-sqlite3-2.7.8_5.txz: Not Found​

This matches what I can see at http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/All/ - py27-sqlite3-2.7.9_5.txz is there, and not py27-sqlite3-2.7.8_5.txz

I've run portsnap fetch update and portsnap extract, and I've stopped and started the jail, but I still see the same problem.

Can someone please advise what I'm doing wrong here please ?

Thanks,

For starters, don't use pkg_add. From http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_jails.html#installing-freebsd-packages:

Warning: do not use the pkg_add command in a FreeNAS® jail as it will cause inconsistencies in your package management database.

Apologies - force of habit when I was writing this up. I am using pkg install :

# pkg install py27-sqlite3
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/All/py27-sqlite3-2.7.8_5.txz: Not Found

Could this be because I used pkg_add at an earlier time ?

*EDIT* - Yep - that was the cause. I've recreated the jail and just used pkg install and it now works.

Sorry for the time waster...
