When I do 'pkg upgrade', pkg shows firefox-esr to be REMOVED. ``` Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking for upgrades (25 candidates): 100% Processing candidates (25 candidates): 100% The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked): Installed packages to be REMOVED: firefox-esr-68.5.0_1,1 thunderbird-68.5.0 ``` It seems that firefox build was failed on package builder. See http://beefy2.nyi.freebsd.org/data/121amd64-quarterly/527970/logs/firefox-74.0_1,1.log http://beefy2.nyi.freebsd.org/data/121amd64-quarterly/527970/logs/firefox-esr-68.6.0,1.log And other person had a same problem. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-12-1-amd64-firefox-and-thunderbird-have-disappeared-from-the-pkg-repository.74413/
It's missing in quarterly, I run into the same problem yesterday. http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/All/ As a workaround it's possible to fetch the package from latest and install it with pkg add. pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/firefox-74.0_2,1.txz
(In reply to Andreas Schwarz from comment #1) Thanks for telling me the workaround. It works for me for now.
This appears to be rectified now (see URL) pending updated packages being (re)created CC those committers involved to coordinate/resolve appropriately
Now I can see firefox-74.0_2,1 & firefox-esr-68.6.0,1 in the latest quarterly package repository. Thanks to all of you.
