Another pkg showstopper, breaking also portupgrade

pkg info pkg
pkg-1.4.99.0  (pkg-devel)

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
make deinstall
pkg-devel not installed, skipping
.......................................................
Wanted to revert to PKG because pkg-devel after deinstall
pkg fetch  zgv zziplib
pkg install  zgv zziplib
Installs the port, says it is the wrong architecture, says it failed to install
Changed the architecture in a file,  still fails
pkg info  zgv 
not installed
portupgrade zgv  fails to do anything nor graphics/zgv ...

So Portupgrade is silently failing
pkg is not-helpfully failing and not usable until...
Left with ports-only for now as far as installs.
