This turned out to be pkg 2.7.3 mishandling the use of: # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf FreeBSD-base: { enabled: no } FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no } FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no } Those lines should have disabled the 3 but instead deleted them internally: net result as if the 3 had never been present in /etc/FreeBSD.conf . When pkg 2.7.4 shows up the above issue should have been fixed in it. As stands, a workaround is to put the "no"s into the original file, replacing the "yes"s. It is the split across files to override the definitions that leads to the issue in 2.7.3 . > > > For reference: > > # pkg -v > 2.7.3 > > # pkg-static -v > 2.7.3 > > # head /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf > ==> /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf <== > # > # To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file, > # create or edit /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf, e.g.: > # > # mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos > # echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" >> > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf > # echo "FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }" >> > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf > # > # Note that the FreeBSD-base repository is disabled by default. > # > > ==> /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf <== > FreeBSD-base: { enabled: no } > FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no } > FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no } > > # man pkg-update > PKG-UPDATE(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual > PKG-UPDATE(8) > > NAME > pkg update – update the local catalogues of the enabled package > repositories > > SYNOPSIS > pkg update [-fq] [-r reponame ...] > > pkg update [--{force,quiet}] [--repository reponame ...] > > . . . > > OPTIONS > The following options are supported by pkg update: > > . . . > > -r reponame, --repository reponame > Download the catalogue for the named repository only.
