I'm having error with `pkg`. Essentially I can't either `update` or `install`.

Code: 
>>> pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: cannot open sqlite3 db: No such file or directory
Fetching meta.conf: 100%    163 B   0.2kB/s    00:01
Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    6 MiB   3.3MB/s    00:02    
Unable to create repository FreeBSD
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

Here's some more info:

Looks like it's working now without me doing anything. Looks like this is a FreeBSD server side issue. I didn't expect the pkg service is so unreliable :( It could easily block someone's mission critical tasks..
 
It might have been some other issue between your machine and the FreeBSD repository?

Networks are under load at the moment (I had a glitch the other day when trying to SSH into some machines that ended up being something to do with my ISP, so there might have been some glitch affecting the connection in your case.)
