https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/?C=M&O=D agrees.

Does anyone know if the above is deliberate and so report if
it is vs. is not?


I'll note that the 2025-Dec-16 Security updates:

FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-25:11.ipfw
FreeBSD-SA-25:12.rtsold

are apparently not available from pkgbase for
FreeBSD:14:i386 for base_{latest,release_3} .

Admittedly, FreeBSD:14:i386 is tier 2. But it is
getting new snapshots for 14.3-STABLE, for example,
as listed in:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-snapshots/2026-January/000691.html


It could be that the intent is for pkgbase
FreeBSD:14:i386 systems to have:

# pkg unregister -fg FreeBSD-\*

done as a means of disabling pkgbase and then having
freebsd-update style updating used instead. But, if so,
I've not seen a notice about such.
