            Bug ID: 290988
           Summary: sysutils/firstboot-freebsd-update: does not work on
                    pkgbase images
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: cperciva@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org

             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(cperciva@FreeBSD.org)

sysutils/firstboot-freebsd-update unconditionally tries to execute
freebsd-update.  On a pkgbase image, that doesn't work.  Instead, it should try
to update the image using pkg.  If this script had been working, then a
freebsd-15-0-BETA5 image would be working, despite bug #290982 .
