[pfSense] 2.2.5 problem with FreeBSD packages

Ran into a problem with my upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5. I am running the NanoBSD version. I use a couple of FreeBSD packages. Ran pkg to bootstrap the FreeBSD package system on 2.2.5. There are no FreeBSD packages available for install. Did a "pkg search" for various common things that should be there. They are not available. Tried "pkg update" as well. Finally, simply reverted to 2.2.4 for the time being. Thoughts?

Thank you for a great product. I always marvel at its flexibility. This is just a minor bump in the road.

I hear nothing but crickets. Anybody have any luck installing BSD packages under the NanoBSD pfSense 2.2.5? I had no problem with 2.2.4 and earlier, but there don't seem to be any packages after you bootstrap pkg-ng in 2.2.5. I hate to open a Redmine bug or whatever if it's just me or already in the bug database.
