            Bug ID: 211749
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg install -r <disabled-repo> does
                    not work, contrary to pkg-install(8)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pkg at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: vlad-fbsd at acheronmedia.com

             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pkg at FreeBSD.org)

When installing packages from a disabled repo with pkg install -r, the manpage
suggests it should not respect the "active" status of the repo ('irrespective
of the configured "active" status from repo.conf'), meaning it will install
from disabled repos, however that is not the case:

> # grep enabled /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf 
>   enabled: no
> 
> # pkg install -r FreeBSD openjdk
> No repositories are enabled.

Enabling the repo allows installation from it with -r.
