            Bug ID: 260955
           Summary: pkg 1.17: keywords "preunexec" and "postexec" no
                    longer recognized
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com

There seems to be a problem after there were removed some keywords with pkg
1.17.

Porters handbook does not mention keywords "preunexec" and "postexec" being
either deprecated or removed.
See https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/plist/#plist-keywords
(cf section 8.6.13.2.)

But these keywords seem to no longer work.

Question now is: is it a problem with pkg, the handbook or apache24 pkg
scripts?

Because the latter fails to install when built from ports, with pkg-static
complaining of these keywords being "unknown".
Please see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260928 for further
details.
