libfetch is a direct dependency of pkgin but its also a dependency of 
pkg_install. Because of the way pkgsrc builds the dependencies
the build order is:
libfetch
pkg_install
openssl
pkgin

The openssl conflict was also the reason why my cmake build was failing 
to find heimdal. I'm guessing again because the system heimdal libraries 
were built against the base openssl. As you say either we have to accept 
8.x as having a good enough SSL and apply that universally or we have to 
make everything pkgsrc use pkgsrc openssl. Same applies to 7.x.

I'm not sure having SSL as a non-default option in libfetch makes any 
sense any more in the days of SSL everywhere. Especially given that the 
current config effectively forces SSL on if builtin openssl is used.
