This is because package tools in current have been updated, and also
the pkgtools/pkginstall package, but the tools haven't been pulled up
to the netbsd-2-0 branch.  So yes, this is expected.

You didn't say how you got pkgsrc.  From your description, it sounds
to me like you have pkgsrc from a mix of dates, rather than a
consistent update from either the head or the pkgsrc-2005Q2 branch.
It may be that you found an ok workaround, but there's something
significantly wrong with either your system, your update of pkgsrc, or
pkgsrc itself.  I haven't seen any similar reports, so it is likely
one of the first two.
