     My solution for pbulk was to follow the regular pkgsrc
instructions on the host (under "Other NetBSD versions"), including
copying the binaries from /usr/pkg/sbin to /usr/sbin.  Then in
pbulk.conf (/usr/local/pbulk/usr/pbulk/etc/pbulk.conf on my systems),
set pkgdb to /usr/pkg/pkgdb.  Since /usr/sbin is "null" mounted
into the pbulk chroot, these steps solved everything.

     BTW, the current instructions are at:
http://pkgsrc.org/pkgdb-change/ .

     Note that the "instructions" for "pkgin" aren't at all useful.
I'll write something on that later, as right now I have to get
ready for work.
