I just updated one of my systems from 11.2-stable to 11.4-stable and when I
attempt to update the packages I now get this:

root at amidala:1 /var/db/pkg> pkg upgrade    
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0
Fetching meta.txz: 100%    916 B   0.9kB/s    00:01    
pkg: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings
Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    6 MiB   2.1MB/s    00:03    
pkg: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0
Unable to open created repository FreeBSD
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

What can I do to correct the version of the FreeBSD.meta? I tried removing
everything from the /var/db/pkg directory but that didn't help.

Thanks,
Bob
