Upgrade failed with "Newer FreeBSD version"

[shadesh]

Hey,

after upgrading to 21.1 the system cannot be upgraded to newer versions.
I always get a mismatch in freebsd version for different packages.
E.g.

Code Select Expand

root@gw:~ # pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    6 MiB   6.4MB/s    00:01   
Processing entries:   0%
Newer FreeBSD version for package php73-pear-channel-horde:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1202000
- running kernel: 1201000
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]:
pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:12:amd64
Processing entries: 100%
Unable to update repository FreeBSD

So? Simply set the flag IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes and then choose 12 from the menu.

For official purposes: please do not enable the FreeBSD repository.

And if you must only enable it briefly and disable when done before it breaks your system later on.


Cheers,

PS: If you install FreeBSD pkg 1.16.2 update at the moment you will somewhat brick your system already. ;)
