The actual available for download time for a distribution server and the notice time about the update need not be identical. What I've seen looking at: https://people.freebsd.org/~dbaio/pkg-master-report.html vs. (for various *'s and using base_latest/ as an example context): https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:*/base_latest/ has tended to have me confirm availability by checking the https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:*/base_latest/ dates/times and only trying to update when those times indicated the update was available for download. (Clearly: I've had contexts were I'm trying to get a version that contains something specific and am avoiding update attempts that are too early for such to result from the attempt in my context.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
