I think this was a user error. I have been making & killing systems (vmware is
cool) to figure out pkg and how to use freebsd-update to update jails. So I am
fuzzy on things I did not actually document along the way.
Anyway I was checking a system that had pkg, subversion, and ezjail. All were
registered except ezjail. I could tell from /usr/ports that I had build it so I
must have done so before adding 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' to make.conf.
I assumed one would fix this with 'pkg register' but after man and google I
decided to use 'pkg check -r -v -a'. This [seemingly] worked.
The logical thing would seem to be 'pkg register -x ezjail'. Except no such
syntax exists. Does 'pkg register metadatafile' mean use the full name?
