Solved `pkg install` results in "...Not Found" error

[klu]

I just upgraded my system from 11.1-RELEASE TO 11.3-RELEASE. And I'm not sure if it's related, but my `pkg` isn't working anymore. Please let me know what diagnostic info could help. Thanks!

>>> sudo pkg install vm-bhyve

Here's some useful info:

Update - I found this related thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-upgrade-not-found-looking-for-wrong-version.67979/

After running `pkg update -f`, the problem is solved. I don't see it mentioned in the FreeBSD update doc. Maybe it should?

It shouldn't be needed. But sometimes it just gets confused and you need to force the update.
