Err. This works great until the next system update. At which point the system pkg_* binaries will be re-instated and break everything. Unless you are going to ensure that /usr/sbin/pkg_* are going to be updated not just in current but also in the 9, 8 and 7 release branches which are all still supported.On Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 03:07:55PM -0800, Paul Goyette wrote:This is just getting too complicated.

Actually, the easiest way is to just: cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install make USE_CWRAPPERS=no install install -c /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_* /usr/sbin
Any solution that overwrites core binaries with a binary from pkgsrc won't survive an OS upgrade.
As others have said this is starting to look like the consequences of the change have not been thought through.
