--- Comment #2 from qjail at a1poweruser.com ---
Just saying something doesn't work is not providing enough information about
what you were trying to do in the first place. So I will have to guess at what
you were trying to do.  

1. Based on the first message qjail outputted is telling you that the version
of Freebsd running on the host is not the same as the version of Freebsd you
are trying to create the qjail environment with. By design qjail requires that
the qjail environment is the same release level as the host. This means you are
trying to do something that is invalid and not allowed. This is a user usage
problem and not a qjail problem.

2. The stable and current versions of FreeBSD are moving targets and qjail is
not supported to work on those versions. Qjail is only supported at the RELEASE
version level. No port is ever supported for stable and current version levels.
Now most times changes made in those versions do not effect qjail, but in the
past there have been times when that was not true and if so it will come to
light during qjail new release testing.

3. The qjail install -f command only works if you have the distribution file
all ready downloaded to your FreeBSD hard drive and it matches the version of
Freebsd that is running on the host. It expects to find the base.txz file at
the path location provided with the -f flag.

For this bug to get further attention you have to explain in detail what you
were doing and provide the qjail commands used. You will have to be using
12.0-RELEASE on the host and installing that same version into the qjail
environment when using the -f flag on the qjail install command doing your
testing. Otherwise this bug report will be closed as user error.
