@dvl I love pkgbase it’s the best and I don’t care for the naysayers. They have reasonable points but until you’ve updated a fleet of 100s or 1000s of systems with it, you haven’t seen the light.
@dvl I have not, my jail stuff is all nuke-and-pave so I don’t upgrade I annihilate
@dch to 15.0, so it's mostly just installing set-minimal and handling a couple of package renames (audit-lib, xz-lib). we'll need to try 15.0 to 16.0 at some point to see what needs to go into the release notes, but i *think* everything should be handled automatically.
i don't usually run different OS versions in jails (aside from poudriere) but i don't remember that needing anything special... doesn't pkg pick up the correct ABI automatically once it's installed? freebsd-update had a lot of issues with this since it relied on uname(1).
@dch hm... are you doing this with signed packaged (e.g. pkg.freebsd.org)? iirc, there's an issue with pkg where it needs the signing keys installed *in the chroot* before you can install anything, which might be what you're running into.
i thought i'd filed a pkg PR for this (because it's clearly a bug) but i can't seem to find it now, maybe i just mentioned it on IRC.
