Solved Unable to install freecad despite the package being in the repo

I am trying to install FreeCAD. The FreeCAD package was recently added to the lateset repo, so I tried installing it, and was unable to. Below is the output of pkg -vv to show that I am indeed on the matching repo. I'm hoping that I just need to wait for the repos to sync or something along those lines.

The process will require 1 GiB more space.
283 MiB to be downloaded.
But it FreeCAD, case sensitive. freecad can't be found...
 
Has freecad disappeared from the repos?

pkg search freecad returns nothing, and if I try to upgrade my system it says freecad will be removed.
 
FreeCAD is not compatible wih VTK 9.6.0 but FreeCAD-devel is in the repos.
Freshports is your friend ;)

There's a deprecation notice on software that need ffmpeg 4 like FreeCAD here but we can use them until 2026-06-30.

EDIT: pkg name are case sensitive. It's FreeCAD or FreeCAD-devel and not freecad / freecad-devel
