Running "pkg update" started to show this warning on this arm64 system. And
although the exit code is 0, searching for ports does not seem to work:

Switching from "latest" to "quarterly" appears to help:


=============================================
$ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf 
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
