#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Workaround used:
removed signature_type and fingerprints
cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: { enabled: no }
cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/example.conf
FreeBSD: { url: "http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv" }
