I installed FreeBSD into Raspberry pi 3, but after downloading and extracting ports tree from portsnap. Now, I also installed pkg (ports-management) binary for binary installation. But, after installation of pkg i tried lots of others binary installation using pkg but it throws an error

[root@rpi3 /usr/ports/net]# pkg Shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg" [root@rpi3 /usr/ports/net]# uname -a FreeBSD rpi3 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r318898M: Thu May 25 15:07:15 MDT 2017 raspberry@hive.raspbsd.org:/usr/home/brd/rpi3/crochet/work/obj/arm64.aarch64/usr/src/sys/GENERIC arm64 [root@rpi3 /usr/ports/net]#

Shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg"

I tried updating or reinstalling it using pkg-static bootstrap -f but nothing happened. I also tried re-installation from ports tree,but again nothing happened.

I also followed this below link , but nothing works.

Shared object “libarchive.so.5” not found, required by “pkg”

Had the same issue so I added a symlink to libarchive.so to resolve.

ln -s /usr/lib/libarchive.so /usr/lib/libarchive.so.6

(now mind you I'm in no way a BSD expert so confirm the consequences of this and or best practice)

Using pkg-static instead of pkg will work around this.

This happens because arm64 packages are built against an older userland where ino64 updates affect some system components.
