Original Pull Request: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/5991

State: closed
Merged: No


The FreeBSD 15.0 VM image used by vmactions/freebsd-vm@v1 ships a pkg binary that fails to parse the current pkg.freebsd.org metadata, with:
pkg: truncated reply for signature_fingerprintsoutput, wanted 0 bytes
pkg: Repository FreeBSD-ports cannot be opened.

This breaks 'pkg install', failing every release run since 2026-04-24. Run 'pkg bootstrap -f' + 'pkg update -f' first to refresh pkg and the catalogue before installing build deps.
