Okay I THINK I've figured this out.

pkgin is now forcibly depending on openssl 1.1.1 from pkgsrc on 8.x and 
7.x. However its libfetch dependency is being built to satisfy pkg_install.

libfetch doesn't default to building with openssl support at all and has 
to be forcibly told to use pkgsrc openssl over the builtin one. I THINK 
(but I'm not 100% sure that openssl support might be enabled in libfetch 
using the system openssl by default).

So I suspect that the reason libfetch can't be found is because there is 
a conflict between the system openssl and the one being referenced by pkgin.

To prove this I set:
PKG_OPTIONS.libfetch=inet6 openssl
USE_BUILTIN.openssl=no

This then built libfetch with the pkgsrc openssl and let pkgin find it 
successfully. However without these options set a simple make install in 
the pkgin directory won't work. What I can't figure out is why this 
isn't showing up on bulk builds or other peoples 7.x and 8.x systems Am 
I really the first to run into this? Or am I just doing something unusual?
