:x86:64 was recently a cause of confusion for someone (not me); and so
on.
Ideally, verify the validity of the updated section with:
- a pkgbase upgrade from 14.1 to 14.2, followed by 14.2 to 15.0-CURRENT
– including attention to non-root user account passwords and group
memberships that exist in the 14.1 environment.
Thanks
Updated. Then and now:

The currently given pkg-static command differs, from the previous, only
in the ABI – FreeBSD:15:amd64.
More eyes on this, please. Proceeding (y) with the command can
significantly break systems, in more ways than one.
I'm aware of at least two methods that should minimise, or negate, the
risk of breakage. I'd like other testers to share their thoughts on how
to avoid breakage, before I share my own; before another update to this
subsection of the wiki.
Thanks
