Fresh install of FreeBSD 15. ( I think its allowed now ? as its ALPHA if no - sorry)
I have issues. Last night i could install a package and never used OS again until today. Played a lot with repo ( latest, quarterly, pkg+https / http / https etc )
Now im getting this error:

Error updating repositories!

I used CloudFlare DNS ( ipv4 and ipv6 ), static ip and slaac for ipv6 during OS install.
I dont use pkgbase at the moment.
Is this my ISP or FreeBSD ? also i run my FreeBSD 15-ALPHA2 inside Proxmox VM but im not sure this is an issue as i used to do it in the past.
P.s. sometimes reboot helps. is this some sort of glitch with routing ? resolver ? CloudFlare or FreeBSD server side ?
 
Also, while i was i fighting with pkg update / upgrade - i had this issue once pkg update -f :
Code: 
# pkg install python

I had the same error with a 14 stable this morning.
It worked after repeating pkg upgrade again, so I can not reproduce it anymore...
Maybe due to some bad network connection, not sure...

I have no idea if Proxmox is or could be an issue clouding a clear landscape; I don't use Proxmox. Some observations and remarks.

FreeBSD 15 comes with some major changes, supported pkgbase is one of them. As the official release of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE is nearing, things need to fall in place, errors, 'irritations', user inconveniences need to be ironed out. Now more than ever, things may change fast, however, with each new update hopefully less and less. Three ML's come to mind as particularly relevant:
  1. freebsd-stable
  2. freebsd-pkgbase
  3. freebsd-pkg
If you haven't subscribed already, I think you should consider doing so; and consider participating.

If you're sure you're using the latest* (snapshot, or build from source), have a clearly documented problem, of course preferably reproducible, then you should let it be known. Submitting a PR should also be viewed as an option. While I have no doubt forum users here are experimenting and testing the new stuff as well, I think (perhaps in addition to the forum), you probably have a better chance at the MLs, or through PRs, to get a more appropriate response. It is likely you get better guidance in how to proceed when you do need to provide more data and how, in order to help developers along.

Happy testing :)

* as of 2025-09-20 we're at 15.0: Update to ALPHA3
 
I need to wait for 15-STABLE or 15-RELEASE as 14.3-STABLE has no issues i experienced with 15-ALPHA2. Lets wait few more weeks and i think i need to read STABLE mailing list to see what is what.
