Topic: FreeBSD "pkg_add -r bash_static" fails

# pkg_add -r bash_static
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports … tatic.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports … static.tbz' by URL

It appears that "bash_static" is no longer a valid package:

If this is the case, what is recommend to be used instead?  Additionally, (as an fyi type of question) what makes the static package different or preferred as opposed to the regular bash package?

Thanks!

Try 'bash-static' instead.

Yup, that make a difference.  In my notes I wrote an underscore.  *sigh*

Thanks!
