After using freebsd repos for pkg, pkg is borked [SOLVED]

[kryptonian]

Hey,

I know that I probably shouldn't have used freebsd repos, but it seems my pkg is no longer able to use the OPNsense repo, and some help would be appreciated as to how do I install the right pkg for OPNsense back or fix the repo definition.

(I needed the freebsd-update utility for jails)

Currently pkg update yields:

It seems I only had to uninstall the pkg and it would let me re-initalize it from the right repo.

Since quarterly packages were updated beginning of October consumers of the FreeBSD repo will receive this breakage now. Part of it seems to be a misunderstanding of how repo mirrors are described, but it's a bit impractical that it complains loudly when it hasn't before.

We will try to provide the right SRV record to fix this... reverting to another mirror type is impractical for a couple of reasons.

I've also run into this, but unfortunately the first thing enabling FreeBSD repo had me do was update pkg. And now I'm pretty much stuck, unable to downgrade pkg (it also wants to uninstall opnsense at the same time) and also unable to update anything from opnsense repos.

Is there a workaround for this until there's a permanent fix?

Now that the 23.10 business release is out we can start moving to the latest pkg version. But we still need to fix the SRV situation that the new version is complaining about now.
