pkg fail to install on AVILA/CAMBRIA arm boards

[John Hay]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to build and install some port on a nfs booted CAMBRIA arm board
using FreeBSD-head. All depend on the new pkg and I can build the whole pkg,
but then when trying to install, I get

#############
root@:/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg # make install
===>  Installing for pkg-1.2.7_3
===>  Checking if ports-mgmt/pkg already installed
pkg-static: failed to find the version elf note

If you are upgrading from the old package format, first run:

  # pkg2ng

*** Error code 70

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /export/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /export/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg

Is there some bootstrapping that I need to do? My previous arm stuff
is on 9 and used the old pkg system, but I thought it is time to
upgrade. Should I rather build the old pkg for arm and -current?

Regards

John
