Record your current state. Before adjusting machines, use pkg version >>

list.<div><br /></div>2.  Check if the clients are calling the repo you
expect.  pkg.conf will hold a bracket of files. Are you hitting the file

to be missing. Did we try the man page's command for that? Maybe pkg

ripping out progams, can you back up those repo items? <div><br

Speaking only for myself, plain text email is much easier to read
than HTML.  Thanks for your help.  I can confirm that the clients
are definitely fetching from my own repo.  Also, I run "pkg check -ad"
and "pkg check -aB" every time I do anything to my repo.  (Also, I'm
on FreeBSD 11.3.                                         -- George
