pkg update: “An error occured while fetching package”

[DominikHoffmann]

I tried running pkg update; pkg upgrade from the CLI and got this:

[24.03-RELEASE][admin@xxx.xxx]/root: pkg update 
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pkg: An error occured while fetching package
pkg: An error occured while fetching package
repository pfSense-core has no meta file, using default settings

Not aware of any issues. What errors do you see with additional debug info?:
pkg -d update
