I see some of these remnants on systems which have never had pkgbase.
Some managed by freebsd-update, most not - they're running -stable.
One is running -current.
Like
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 786736 Oct 18 04:00:38 2020 /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem.pkgsave
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 786736 Oct 18 04:00:38 2020 /usr/local/openssl/cert.pem.pkgsave
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 28209496 Jul 13 02:15:14 2023 /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static.pkgsave
So there will be no 'man pkgbase' anyway.
Are these files safe to delete?
What is their purpose on a non-pkgbase system?
