env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg update -f --repository FreeBSD-base

With pkg 2.3.1, the second of these commands fails.

env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg update -f --repository FreeBSD
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg update -f --repository FreeBSD-base

Am I missing something? (As far as I can tell, it would have succeeded 
five days ago with 2.2.2.)
