Yes, you should.   If something goes wrong, let's debug it.

In the old days, one ran install as root and it set -u -g to control how
the file ended up.  In modern pkgsrc, one installs as a non-root user,
and uses the system install where you still pass -u -g.  But instead of
setting the uid/gid of the resulting file, the file is the unpriv user,
and there is METALOG that has the intended values.  This needs -U -M.
When the binary package is created, it reads METALOG and uses that for
the owner/gid in the tarball so when it is unpacked it comes out right.

I am unclear on if pax writes METALOG.  pax(1) does not say it does.
See install(1) for METALOG.  I am not finding info about METALOG in tar
or pkg_create.

"make fetch" got not found.   To repro, rm your
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/foo and rerun.  Or better yet move it someplace
safe until you can compare to the new one.
