just continues to loop this update even when installed it repeats please could you advise how to fix
Many thanks

system keep trying to install updates which are not already installed

Something with the fact that you have two additional repos configured. I would try to disable mimugmail and sunnyvalley, retry the update, then re-enable.

If you are using only AGH from Michael's community repo he's got a dedicated one with only that package.

FreeBSD pkg does not play well with multiple repositories and different package versions/dependencies. Then neither does apt, so 🤷�♂️

many thanks it was indeed mimugmail repo was the problem
