pkg: No packages matching 'vim' available in the repository

After a fresh install this morning in a VM I tried pkg install vim and received:
Code:
pkg: No packages matching 'vim' available in the repositories
Any idea what's going on here? I have successfully installed other packages but editors/vim does not seem to exist? Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,

Try to remove the file /var/db/pkg/repo-* and do a pkg upgrade. Also output the content of your /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file if it didn't work.

Thank you.

The package editor/vim is available in my FreeBSD server, but it's a 32 bits installation. Maybe the 64 bits binary package isn't built yet.

As far as I know, packages are built on Wednesday and the repositories are updated within two days. This week's packages have not been copied to the repositories yet.

And pkg search vim here still returns what it returned last week:
Code:
vim-7.4.110
vim-lite-7.4.110
vimpager-1.8.2
xpi-vimperator-3.5
In the FreeBSD 9 i386 repository I can see vim-7.4.110 (Dec 5) and vim-lite-7.4.110 (Dec 4).

I am still not yet seeing it for amd64, but will keep trying periodically.
