For me, pkg(8) quit working on systems that have /var/db mounted from
nfs long ago, maybe as much as a year ago at this point. I mentioned
it on irc, and was told "It's probably something to do with locking",
but I already have boot.nfsroot.options="nolockd" in loader.conf
(because that's pretty much the only option because the rc(8) system
was broken years ago when it comes to nfsroot).
