"pkg(8) must be version 1.3.8 or greater, but you have 1.3.7. You must
upgrade pkg(8) first"

I'm not using portupgrade, and I'm having the same issue. I've run `pkg
upgrade pkg` (a command that would be useful to include in the message
about needing to upgrade pkg seeing as it's not even in the man page!), but
it only updates to 1.3.7.

...

Okay, I've found that the latest ports tree has 1.3.8 in ports-mgmt/pkg, so
I'm installing it from source. Still baffled why it wasn't working. Was it
not sent up to the official pkg servers?
