Legacy system

[Peter Sprokkelenburg]

Craig,

Thank you for the link.

I had some pkgdb corruption that I had to clean up first, that is all sorted and I was able to install pkg following the instructions.

The /usr/sbin/pkg REALLY helped.

Thanks again!

I have a system that we only use internally and it some how got *missed* on getting upgrade to pkg from pkg_

Attempting to upgrade now give an error -

/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg]# make
You are about to convert your system to pkg while you have ports/packages
installed with the old pkg_install tools.

To switch to pkg:
    1) Install ports-mgmt/pkg
    2) Convert your package database by running pkg2ng

*** [pre-everything] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg.

Hi,

Can you follow the steps (in order) here:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html#pkgng-initial-setup
and report anything that is unclear in that doc, so we can clean it up?
