I already took a look to many other posts on that subject but I am unable to solve my issue.

When I do a doas pkg -d upgrade I got :
Code: 
[...]

My FreeBSD.conf :
Code: 
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}",
  enabled: no
}
I tried already to doas pkg upgrade -f and also to doas pkg bootstrap -f (as it is like pkg is the one which cannot find requirement) but still got the same issue.

Many thanks
 
I would indeed better said that it is not an issue but a curiosity and wanted to understand why I got this in my laptop, and don't have the issue in the 5 other servers I have, but I read "pkg cannot find provide for requirement" I am wondering if something is missing
 
It's looking for base OS libraries. So unless you used pkgbase it's not going to find a package that contains those libraries.
