(I’m relatively new to Haiku - used BeOS a bit back in the 90s.)
When I tried to follow the instructions from here, I got the following:
~> pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
Removing repository HaikuPorts ...
Really remove the repository 'HaikuPorts'? [yes/no] (no) : yes
Error: Unable to unarchive repository info!

HaikuPorts

priority: 1
And when I try to run SoftwareUpdater I get an error “Failed to get cache for repo HaikuPorts”.
I had installed it from the Haiku R1/Beta2 x86_64 image using VMWare Fusion.
Am I missing a step?
