Remove the FreeBSD repo. Then:
pkg-static install -f pkgIt should offer to downgrade to the pfSense 2.7.0 pkg version.

grrr by mistake I removed the package not the repo
What can I do now ? -
Check /var/cache/pkg. You may have one or both those packages still there and can install from the file directly using
pkg add. Though if you have actually removed the pkg binary that's... a problem!
It's probably easier to backup the config and reinstall 2.7 clean. -
@stephenw10 thanks a lot, that worked, both versions of pkg were there

Lesson to be learned and shared with others -- do not add packages from non-Netgate repos
. This includes even the official FreeBSD repos. Doing so has a very high likelihood of breaking your pfSense installation due to changes in versions of particular binaries or shared libraries. -
Yup if you enable the repo it will pull in any dependencies from there.
If you must do it I would download the pkgs from the FreeBSD repo and 'pkg add' them directly. If that results loads of additional dependencies being required it might be time to rethink!
-
I did read around here about people having problems after doing it but I thought wget with be rather simple :-) ..it was not :-)
-
When you run pkg it tries to update itself and right now the FreeBSD 14 repo has a significantly newer version. 1.2X has a few changes from 1.9X that you're hitting. But you should always be able to use pkg-static.
