The program sends this to the ftp server: CWD pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 CWD 4.3-RELEASE RETR packages/INDEX The packages folder is a link to another folder, but it is pointing to a folder that does not exist, thus rendering the tool useless. >How-To-Repeat: Just try to use the packages tool in 4.3 >Fix: fix the symbolic link >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: From: "mark a. matienzo" To: , Cc: Subject: Re: misc/37634: FTP site problem - packages link points to nonexistent path Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 09:19:14 -0400 This problem seems to have been solved for every release except 4.5-RELEASE. -- Mark A.

This includes packages. Therefore, packages for older releases are no longer available. Can you reproduce this problem with newer a release?
