pkg upgrade issue

[circus78]

Hi,
I am using 11.2-RELEASE-p8.
I haven't used my netbook for a while; today I ran freebsd-update fetch and freebsd-update install (all went fine).
Anyway, I encountered issues with pkg upgrade, I mean I received lots on "not found" errors.

I noticed some little mismatch in package's version, for example:

pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:i386/quarterly/All/xorg-server-1.18.4_10,1.txz: Not Found

while on repository there is:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:i386/quarterly/All/xorg-server-1.18.4_11,1.txz

I ran pkg-static update -f and it seems my problem has gone.

Is the correct way to solve this kind of issue?

Thank you

Hi circus78,

As we can see from first "Not Found" error that your local repository catalogue was out-of-sync. Running the above command will update your local FreeBSD repository catalogue (by default against FreeBSD remotes repository). You should run

pkg update

to update your local repository with the repositories as listed in pkg.conf. Then you can run

pkg upgrade

that will upgrade your packages (or what you have specified).

Long story short, your system should be in good state.
