A repository enabled vs. disabled vs. missing oddity

Note: The context does not have anything installed that is
       from FreeBSD-ports-kmods . The below is via a chroot
       on main 16 to media with a stable/15 installation.


case 0: FreeBSD-ports-kmods enabled (case 1 will be: disabled)

# cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file, 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
#

FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: no
}

FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

# cat /usr/local//etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,

#

#FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }
#FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }
#FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }

# pkg repos
FreeBSD-base: { 
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest",
    enabled         : no,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
FreeBSD-ports: { 
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { 
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }

(Which looks normal to me. As a cross check . . .)

# pkg version -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods

. . .
ztop-0.3.0_6                       ?

That also looks normal to me.


case 1: FreeBSD-ports-kmods disabled

/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf is unchanged.

# cat /usr/local//etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file, 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
#

#FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }
#FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }

# pkg repos
FreeBSD-base: { 
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest",
    enabled         : no,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
FreeBSD-ports: { 
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }


(So FreeBSD-ports-kmods is missing instead of being
listed as "enabled: no". As a cross check . . .)

# pkg version -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods
No repositories are enabled.


Such does not look to be expected to me.

For reference:
