On second thought, the local pkg database will still be "polluted". You probably want to delete the packages first.     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/src delete FreeBSD-set-src     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/src autoremove     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/base delete FreeBSD-set-base     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/base autoremove This might have consequences for your regular installation, so use with caution. Honestly, you want a dedicated PKG_DBDIR too, but that entails extra complications. > You will still have the packages, which you could exclude from your > normal cache by setting PKG_CACHEDIR in the above pkg commands.
