When installing pkgsrc with a non-default prefix (LOCALBASE) on NetBSD, and a native pkgsrc installation with /usr/pkg, /usr/pkgsrc and /etc/mk.conf is present, the non-default pkg_chk will find and use configuration and packages from the native installation. It will read both LOCALBASE/pkgchk.conf and /usr/pkgsrc/pkgchk.conf. It will try to install packages from /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All, although they will not work if installed under LOCALBASE.
The problem seems to stem from the fact, that extract_mk_var() does not return correct values for LOCALBASE and PKGSRCDIR. The function returns the empty default values, making pkg_chk use the native installation instead.
A workaround is to define PKGSRCDIR in $prefix/etc/mk.conf (as LOCALBASE already is), and pkg_chk works as intended. Another, eventually better solution would be to bake the proper values into the pkg_chk script, as is already done for several other variables.
