> (Does FreeBSD:13:i386 exist?) No, not any more, at least if you mean the packages availability. IA32 aka i386 has been relegated to be a Tier 2 architecture with FreeBSD 13 release. And project precompiled packages are only available for the Tier 1 architectures, which as of versions 13 and 14 means amd64 and aarch64. See this page for a table of evolving arch support status: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ If you want to know, what arch are you installed packages locally, do as follows: $ pkg query "%q %n-%v" This shall show you a list of all installed packages with their registered ABI.
