See below. I was only inquiring if in fact that file was supposed to be 
there, & maybe wasn't there for some administrative reason:


rpi # cat /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
# $Id: repositories.conf,v 1.3 2012/06/13 13:50:17 imilh Exp $
#
# Pkgin repositories list
#
# Simply add repositories URIs one below the other
#
# WARNING: order matters, duplicates will not be added, if two
# repositories hold the same package, it will be fetched from
# the first one listed in this file.
#
# This file format supports the following macros:
# $arch to define the machine hardware platform
# $osrelease to define the release version for the operating system
#
# Remote ftp repository
#
# ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/5.1/All
#
# Remote http repository
#
# 
http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/$arch/DragonFly-$osrelease/stable/All
#
# Local repository (must contain a pkg_summary.gz or bz2)
#
# file:///usr/pkgsrc/packages/All
# NetBSD OS release can look like 6.0_STABLE, do not use it as-is
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/7.0/All

Thanks & TIA for any further clues.
