--- Comment #12 from Alex Kozlov <ak at FreeBSD.org> ---
The pkg-checksum reads almost entire $PREFIX, so if you don't want for files
disappear/change checksum during validation, you need to copy $(pkg info -la)
files to /tmp.
It's easier with pkgdb, just a few megabytes, but if e.g. pkg-audit works on
stalled pkgdb, there is possibility that you install vulnerable port and will
know about it only after next periodic run. Granted, chances for this is not
very high, but IMO it's much easier and safer to move pkg-* periodic scripts to
another time or build ports in poudriere.
