Hi Kurt,
In case your repo is defined this way on your host
Repositories:
$reponame: {
...
copy also the $reponame.meta and repo-$reponame.sqlite from /var/db/pkg to the jail.
Additional set "REPO_AUTOUPDATE = false" in the pkg.conf from the jail.
Now the jail has all references for the packages and the update should work.
