The first time I ran the command, I did not capture the logs.
Before running the command, I did not have pkg installed at all.
When I ran the command, it bootstrapped and installed pkg-1.3.7,
then it installed all the packages, then tried to install pkg-1.4.0.p.all.

The second time I ran the command, I did try to capture logs, which I posted.
I ran the command differently at this point.  Before running the
command, I deleted
all packages.  Then I installed pkg-devel.  Then I ran the command.
It seemed to install a bunch of packages, and then install pkg-1.3.7.

The third time I ran the command, I did not capture the log.
I repeated the steps in the second time, using pkg-1.4.0 installed.  However,
this time I removed 'pkg' from the list of explicitly specified packages.
I ran into the same problem where it tried to install pkg-1.3.7.

# pkg info -r pkg
pkg-1.3.7:
        pcbsd-utils-1394538598

Is this enough to cause the problem?
