Could you please explain why nih fails in pbulk?
Your recent clang bulk build has the same problem.
P.S. If I were a person responsible for pkg_install in base, I'd remove
it from there completely. If its initial purpose was to install packages
from NetBSD repositories without downloading pkgsrc tree, we can write a
script for downloading pkg_install binary package, unpack it and
initialize pkgdb, then use pkg_* tools from /usr/pkg just like users
under all other systems do.
For non-NetBSD repositories such script can be a part of the repository
(ftp -o - url | sh).
Alternatively pkgsrc can easily be bootstrapped as usual.
