The temporary solution is to install sysutils/pkg_install. Once pkg_install is installed, bsd.port.mk will know to use the pkg_info in that port to install and deinstall other ports. I hope to commit a fix for the bug that prevents the automatic installation of pkg_install on affected systems very soon. We are waiting for one issue to be ironed out in the recent bsd.port.mk patchset. Hopefully by Monday, this problem should be taken care of.=20 Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience.
