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.

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:

this one is new for me.
 
I am seeing this as well, maybe even more so. Just ran pkg update, and the download took much more time, as did the processing. It seems now the download was 540MiB, and the processing did not finish successfully:
Code:

On a different host, same command but different error (oops, ran out of space on /tmp):
Code:

Both systems are 14.4-RELEASE-p7

What's up with the repository?
 
I got almost exactly the same as both posters first screenshots - 540 MiB, processing stopped at 76% (FreeBSD 14.4 p7) - (to state the obvious) something's not right at the moment:

Code: 
# pkg upgrade

Same with FreeBSD 15.1 thick jail. It is painfully slow even though everything was working just fine when I tried it 2-3h ago.

Code: 
freebsd 15.1 op@bsd:~ % freebsd-version

    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_quarterly_1",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,

  }
