pkg: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2

[dpo]

I hope this is the right place to post this issue.

I'm building Julia software on FreeBSD using Cirrus and https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl. Starting in the past few days, I've been getting this kind of failure on CirrusCI in the "install phase" of the build:

sh -c "$(fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl/master/bin/install.sh -o -)"
-                                                     4905  B 8585 kBps    00s

Any ideas what's happening?

Thanks!

I've seen similar reports. There is something wrong with the image that we don't maintain. Could you please try freebsd-12-0-release-amd64?

Thank you for the quick response! I'm already using freebsd-12-0-release-amd64 but freebsd-12-1-release-amd64 appears to be working!
