Dan, could you confirm whether the first one also installed pkg(8), so subsequent 'pkg info' would show (only) pkg? If so, would 'pkg -N config ABI' have done the same? Or failed? Or shown the ABI? That is - given that pkg(7) must know $ABI to resolve url: in Whatever.conf to install pkg(8) - is it necessary to bootstrap pkg to determine ABI via pkg(7)? Thanks, Ian
