You have not done anything wrong.

The pkg-builder boxes @FreeBSD.org for 11.x ran with 11.1, while
11.1 was still supported. Unfortunatly, 11.1-build packages
for kernel drivers do not always work on 11.2.

On the 1st of October, 11.1 expired. The pkg-builder
machines will run 11.2 for the next build of ports. Then the
normal pkg binaries will work with 11.2.
