looks like a "feed  issue" like your upstream doesn't have
updatedb-0.

Yes, it is (but a minor one)
I have zero idea how your mirror carries a recent quirks but no
updatedb.

The "minor one" part is that having no updatedb around means you
can't cache update information for pkg_add -U which makes the process
roughly 10 times slower.
