Why pkg offers different versions of packages on two machines?
Rafal Lukawiecki
If I run "pkg search certbot" using the official AWS FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE image it finds:
py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1 Let's Encrypt client
but if run the same search using my locally installed FreeBSD, which happens to be a slightly older, 11.0-STABLE, I find the newer (which also happens to be the current) version of that package:
py27-certbot-0.17.0,1 Let's Encrypt client
In both cases pkg.conf and the repo config are the same, with all the settings at their unchanged by me defaults (url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly”). Both versions of pkg itself are the same. As far as I can see, I am resolving to the same mirror in both cases, as I see the same IP (213.138.116.73) when I ping pkg.freebsd.org.
When I manually navigate to http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/ I can see the older version of the package (py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1) on the server. When I navigate to the latest tree (http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/) I can see the newer package in there.
Why does my locally installed pkg find the newer version if both configs point to the same, quarterly, repo URL?
Many thanks,
Rafal

Hi Rafal,
FreeBSD STABLE and CURRENT branches use the "head" pkg repo by default,
whilst FreeBSD RELEASE branches use the "quarterly" pkg repo by default.
The 2017Q3 quarterly branch only has py27-certbot-0.16.0_1,1 right now,
whilst the ports head branch has py27-certbot-0.17.0,1.
So you FreeBSD-11 STABLE build must be using the head branch.
Regards,
Ben

Thank you, Ben, this makes sense. Is this behaviour configured in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, in which case I don’t see quite where. This is the conf from my STABLE which is pulling latest. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thank you,

Hi Rafal,
I agree the FreeBSD.conf file you have shown here looks like it is pulling
from quarterly.
This is not the normal FreeBSD.conf file for FreeBSD 11-STABLE, which you
can see here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf?revision=302408&view=markup
Perhaps check 2 things:
1. Double check you have posted the /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file from the
11-STABLE machine, and that you don't have any temporary mount points
overwriting it.
2. Can you post the contents of all files in /etc/pkg/ and in
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
Regards,
Ben

Dear Ben,
Here is the data that you have asked for, plus a couple of extras. This is running in a jail on a FreeNAS device. There are no mounts over this part of the file hierarchy. Having said that, your line of thought brought something up that I was clearly not aware of, and I think this solves the issue. There are two FreeBSD.conf files, one in /etc/pkg, where I was originally looking, and another one in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/. That second one refers to /latest. I did not realise there were two configs… Thank you for helping me resolve the issue, very much, indeed.
