Newer FreeBSD version for package zstd

I

i.am.the.problem

I seem to have got my system into a bit of a mess.

Code: 
# pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching data.pkg: 100%    7 MiB   7.5MB/s    00:01   
Processing entries:   0%
Newer FreeBSD version for package zstd:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1304000
- running kernel: 1302001
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]: n
pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:13:amd64
Processing entries:   0%
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

Code: 
# freebsd-version  
13.2-RELEASE-p12

Is it safe to try to update the FreeBSD Version to 13.4 with the following command and then update all the packages?

Code: 
freebsd-update -r 13.4-RELEASE upgrade

That command only downloads and prepares the upgrade, it doesn't apply anything. You'll need to run freebsd-update install (twice) to actually perform the upgrade.

Some users reported having problems when making big jump, if I am not mistaking the last recommendation is to do progressive upgrade 13.2 -> 13.3 -> 13.4. Do not forget to merge files correctly when it's asked.

If there is trouble with pkg mixing version then I would not do any package update before upgrading FreeBSD version, to me it makes more sense in that order, first OS then packages but it's a personal opinion.
