The pkgng wiki ( https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng ) seems to be misleading =
on the issue of including vs. not including /latest in http.../latest in =
that it lists:

url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"

so when I was looking around it did not suggest that I remove the =
"/Latest" suffix from the url that I had: it instead suggested to me =
that it should be included. (Took me a while to find where I'd seen =
"/latest" listed when I was looking around.)

I see now that I

Looking a the list of log files ( =

shows digest.txz is valid but just happens to be only one character =
different from the digests.txz name.
