FreeBSD 14.4 - pkg is slow to update database

T

tingo

So I have just installed FreeBSD 14.4-release-p7 (ok, I installed 14.4-release and used freebsd-update to get to -p7) on a new partition on the SSD of my workstation.
And suddenly, pkg is slow to update it's database (the "processing entries" part), fetching takes a little less than ten seconds, but look at this
Code: 
root@kg-core2:~ # time pkg upgrade -n
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching data: 100%   540 MiB  62.9 MB/s    00:09    
Processing entries:  76%
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Updating FreeBSD-kmods repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-kmods repository is up to date.
Error updating repositories!

Your packages are up to date.
      224.94 real       199.95 user         6.56 sys
that's around 3 minutes!
And it complains that it can't update the FreeBSD repository. What gives?
It wasn't that slow when I installed, it has just become slow now.
Recap:
Code: 
root@kg-core2:~ # freebsd-version -ku
14.4-RELEASE-p7
14.4-RELEASE-p7
root@kg-core2:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD kg-core2.kg4.no 14.4-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p7 #0 -dirty: Tue Jun 30 08:53:56 UTC 2026     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64
root@kg-core2:~ # pkg info pkg\*
pkg-2.7.5
pkgconf-2.4.3_1,1
date and time is synced
Code: 
root@kg-core2:~ # ntpq -p

==============================================================================

and I did 'certctl rehash' (it shouldn't matter, it fetches files all right)
the repo directories
Code: 
root@kg-core2:~ # ls -l /var/db/pkg /var/db/pkg/repos
/var/db/pkg:
