You have an unsupported 3rd party package repo installed. Remove it, restore the default values and try again.

Updating pf2ad repository

That is not a pfSense package. That pkg repo has been added manually or via some script and is breaking the repo updates against the official repos.

I don't suppose you could tell me how to uninstall it?

if there's an easy way to uninstall it via the command line, will it break anything else?

Thanks!

Check for rogue repo files here:

[2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@cedev-2.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
total 1
1 -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 25 Aug 28 17:10 FreeBSD.conf
1 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel 55 Sep  5 12:02 pfSense.conf -> /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0002.conf

It's been a long while since I tried pf2ad but I'm pretty sure it has an install/uninstall script that should do it. Unless it's completely broken!
