>Organization:

>Environment:
freebsd-6648 8.1-RELEASE
>Description:
After installing the sysutils/apt port, running the command

apt-get update

results in errors because apt-get is trying to pull from the invalid "binary-freebsd-i386" architecture. For example, apt-get will attempt to download from

http://ftp.debian.org/dists/squeeze/main/binary-freebsd-i386/Packages.gz

The above is an invalid URL and should instead read

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-kfreebsd-i386/Packages.gz

Note the leading "k" in "binary-kfreebsd-i386".

>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install the sysutils/apt port (pkg_add -r apt)
2. Create the required directories
mkdir -p /var/db/apt/state/lists/partial
mkdir -p /var/db/apt/cache/archives/partial
mkdir -p /var/db/dpkg
touch /var/db/dpkg/status

3. Run the apt-get update command
/usr/local/bin/apt-get update


>Fix:
The apt program should be patched to draw from Debian's "binary-kfreebsd-i386" repositories. Or, if possible, patched to import the system's arch from a configuration file.
