pkg-static: Insufficient privileges to add packages

[Ben Woods]

That error is generated in the pkg exec_add function in src/add.c here:
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/master/src/add.c

It occurs because it checks the package database for read, write, create
access using the pkgdb_access and pkgdb_check_access functions in
libpkg/pkgdb.c
here:
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/master/libpkg/pkgdb.c

I believe this is inside the jail created by poudriere testport. It would
be interesting to add the -i interactive flag to the testport run and check
the permissions on/in the pkg database. Mine are here for reference:
% ls -lah /var/db/pkg/
total 37484
