I'm reminded of <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2441>,

On one hand: in recent months, I began wondering whether it was overcome 
by events, or fixed, because I had not observed the issue for a while.

On the other hand: I had not recently tested with 2441 in mind.

Two weeks ago: 
<https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116258779068724620>, NB the 
first follow-up "… This began as a review of pkg issue 2441 …". I might 
revisit the case today, or over the long weekend.

I have intentionally dropped freebsd-hackers@ from the list of 
addressees here ("No posting should be made to more than 2 mailing 
lists, and only to 2 when a clear and obvious need to post to both lists 
exists." –
