Update 14.3 -> 15.0 - pkg: packagesite URL error

[Johan Helsingius]

Hi,

After updating from 14.3 to 15.0, pkg update fails with

pkg: packagesite URL error for
pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf --
pkg+:// implies SRV mirror type

Any suggestions?

|pkg repos -el | sort -f ; sleep 5 ; pkg repos -e|

Thanks. pkg repos -e gives:

FreeBSD-ports: {
url :
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0,
mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
url :
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_quarterly_0",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0,
mirror_type : "SRV",
signature_type : "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
FreeBSD: {
url :
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly",
enabled : yes,
priority : 0
}


but pkg upgrade still results in:

Delete the part of the file that includes the configuration above. 

What was previously 'FreeBSD' is now 'FreeBSD-ports.
