--- Comment #2 from Christian Kujau <freebsd@nerdbynature.de> ---
Interesting. I haven't set TMPDIR explicitly so I'd assume it's /tmp too, and
it's indeed not that big, just 128 MB.

But for some reason the issue is gone now -- "pkg update" with the "latest"
repo configured completes just fine now. I've monitored /tmp anyway and during
'pkg update" it went up to 68 MB, but then went down again:

==========================================
$ while true; do df -h /tmp/ | grep -v File; sleep 0.1; done |
tmpfs         128M    436K    128M     0%    /tmp
[...]
tmpfs         128M    8.2M    120M     6%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M    8.9M    119M     7%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     23M    105M    18%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     59M     69M    46%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     68M     60M    53%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     68M     60M    53%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     68M     60M    53%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     68M     60M    53%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M     68M     60M    53%    /tmp
tmpfs         128M    348K    128M     0%    /tmp
==========================================

If this happens again, I'll try with a different TMPDIR. Thanks for responding!
