Oh=2E Now I'm thoroughly confused=2E
Without -N, /usr/sbin/pkg should use by default /etc/pkg/FreeBSD=2Econf to=
first install pkg(8), but how can FreeBSD=2Econf resolve ${ABI} unless tha=
t's already set?
Without -N, does that install pkg for you? And then emit pkg -vv stuff in=
cl=2E ABI?
Bapt, can you please help resolve this thread, starting at
https://lists=2Efreebsd=2Eorg/archives/freebsd-questions/2023-March/002896=
=2Ehtml
Note the list archives threading is still busted, as we discussed months a=
go, so you must back out to the index foreach=2E
cheers, Ian
