Hi, I had occasion to install FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64-20241003-ad152571b8fd-272633-disc1.iso today and when it booted up, I ran pkg install (usual programs). But I found that it bailed with libmd errors when installing pkg. I don't use pkgbase, as far as I'm aware, which is why I thought I should mention it in this thread. Fortunately, fetch is still in base so this was fixed by downloading https://download.freebsd.org/ports/ports/ports.tar.xz into /tmp, untarring into /usr/ports, then made pkg from ports-mgmt/pkg and installed it. --
