I had to build another system to test this.

This dir/file was not created on RC3 but is present on 9.1-release

there is no pkg/repos/ dir on either system. Both have identical pkg.conf files.

pgk -vv shows the error. On the RC3 
system output ends with:

    :
LOCK_WAIT = 1;
LOCK_RETRIES = 5;
SQLITE_PROFILE = false;
WORKERS_COUNT = 0;

On the system updated to 9.1-release:

    :
LOCK_WAIT = 1;
LOCK_RETRIES = 5;
SQLITE_PROFILE = false;
WORKERS_COUNT = 0;
