Not such a stupid question, actually, but ... what could go wrong
and how would this materialize?

# type pkg_add
pkg_add is /usr/sbin/pkg_add
# strings -a /usr/sbin/pkg_add | grep /pkgdb
/usr/pkg/pkgdb
/usr/pkg/pkgdb
# pkg_add -V

So the in-tree pkg_install tools are evidently from the era
following where the default pkg database location was changed
from /var/db/pkgdb to /usr/pkg/pkgdb.

I vaguely recall that I was in the habit of creating
/etc/pkg_install.conf with

PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb

and creating /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf as a symlink to this
file during the transition period to the new location, but
evidently that is not done on this particular system (no such
files are in place), and this system runs 10.0.

However, since evidently the in-tree pkg_install is from the era
following the switch to using /usr/pkg/pkgdb, it appears to me
that the error I am observing cannot be caused by the wrong pkgdb
being consulted.  And the system in question here does not even
have a /var/db/pkgdb/ directory.

Yes, I see /var/db/pkgin/pkgin.db is an sqlite3 database, but
being entirely unfamiliar with its use and its schema, can
someone please supply some commands to inspect the dependency
information for a given package as stored in that database?  I
assume that this is the place where the information from
pkg_summary.bz2 is being stored as part of "pkgin up", and is
subsequently used to compute what to do during execution of
"pkgin fug"?
