This indicates an error generated by the UCL parser while pkg is reading
its own configuration file, or possibly one of the repo configs in
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf.  Chances are this is a simple typo
somewhere.

It would be helpful here if pkg(8) showed the file name and line number
where the problem was found, but it doesn't.

Yeah -- that's portmaster calling pkg(8) over and over again.  You'll
likely get that message every time pkg(8) is invoked.

Please show us your /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf, any repo.conf files you may
have and the output of 'pkg -vv'
