Unable to update repository FreeBSD Error updating repositories

[Alfonso Siciliano]

Hello,

I have the same problem:

Moreover

/usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap -f 

gives an analogue error.

The reason is inside the file:  "/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf", the line : 

... pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest/ ...


is "translated" in ...pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest...
but currently http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/ hasn't "FreeBSD:13:amd64".

The question is: When will be it added?
(Meanwhile I/you can use the ports)


Regards
Alfonso
