pkg install audio/audacity fails

[unitrunker]

This is on 14.0-RELEASE. Trying to re-install audio/audacity ...

'pkg' no longer sees 'audacity' as a valid package name.

# pkg install audio/audacity

I've tried 'pkg update -f':

# pkg update -f

Re-issuing 'pkg install audio/audacity' returns the same error.

audio/audacity is genuinely missing from packagesite.yaml.

Dirty work-around: I briefly switched from quarterly to latest, and installed, before switching back.

Just a guess but seems the newest quarterly packages lost audacity due to some dependency failure at the time the quarterly snapshot was made (dated December 17).

I don't really understand how the 'fallout' logs work, but it appears there is no checksum for one of the patches: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy8/data/140amd64-quarterly/e563efafb938/logs/audacity-3.4.2.log

It means the distinfo file, that checks the downloaded files, is incorrect.

I briefly switched from quarterly to latest, and installed, before switching back.

Same error here, this solves it. I didn't even switch git, just picked up the port files from https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/audio/audacity, then make install clean.
Package users can do that too, or wait a little longer for the package to reappear.
