Weird #FreeBSD #pkgbase thing. #sysadmin
I updated my hosts from 14->15 with freebsd-update, then ran pkgbaseify and switched to pkgbase. No problem.
My jails & bhyves update, no problem.
# freebsd-version
15.0-RELEASE-p8
The bare metal install?
# freebsd-version
15.0-RELEASE-p4
# pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue...

So it finds packages, but there's nothing to update? #headdesk
