Bug 284054: ports-mgmt/pkg: Does not recognize .pkg as a valid suffix
(triggered by portupgrade)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D284054



--- Description ---
For quite some time now (since at least FreeBSD 12, if not earlier) pkg
complains about "pkg: unknown format pkg, using the default" when using
portupgrade on a port.

This bug could also be consider a bug in portugrade, but since both are
essential parts of the "core" ports system for people who build their own
ports, one or the other maintainer should be able to address this. Give that
.pkg seems like a reasonable suffix for ports-mgmt/pkg to support, I'm fili=
ng
it against pkg. Feel free to reassign.

To reproduce (on 14.2-stable), just "portupgrade -f" any port you have
installed. You will see output like this:

[...]

pkg: unknown format pkg, using the default     <--------------
