Solved pkg won't find candidates to upgrade even out of date

Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p7, which I upgraded from FreeBSD 12.
I had some issues during the upgrade with pkg and had to run pkg bootstrap to make it work again.

Now when I run pkg update && pkg upgrade the local repository is being updated but it always returns:
Code: 
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking for upgrades (0 candidates): 100%
Processing candidates (0 candidates): 100%
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Your packages are up to date.

Any idea what I could do to make pkg aware of outdated packages? I removed the sqlite database already but it didn't help.

Thanks for hints!
 
The packages or ports versions are almost the same for all FreeBSD versions.

How did you manually detect that there are new updates?
 
pkg version -l shows that they are out of date. I also compared the current installed version with pkg info and freshports.org I can see there are a few candidates.

EDIT: For example: ca_root_nss-3.71 < Current version should be 3.76, pkg version -l "<" tells me that it's out of date, but pkg upgrade says different.
Bootstrapping (with -f) didn't help.
 
The command pkg version -l seems to be invalid for me. However this command compares the packages against the ports tree in /usr/ports.

When using a normal -RELEASE the quarterly repository is used by default so you will only get rolling security updates and similar stuff.

If you want to know more about Quarterly and you may want to switch to the latest repository (weekly updates) then you can take a look at here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch
 
Well, I am talking about pkg version -l "<" which looks like a "subset" of pkg version -i, but in this case it seems I missed this "quarterly" introduction with 10.2. There will be a new quarter soon, so let's see :)

Thanks.
