I just tried "pkg search" and got this error:

pkg: Repository Avalon missing. 'pkg update' required
pkg: Repository Avalon load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-
Avalon.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory
pkg: http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/dports/dragonfly:4.10:x86:64/

I'm running 4.9 compiled August 8. Do I have to upgrade in order to get any 
packages?
