I fixed this in HEAD by setting the default if pulling it from make
fails. I will MFC ASAP.
Of course this will solve my "problem" 8-)
But if you use something like
pkg_dbdir=${PKG_DBDIR-/var/db/pkg}
you will also cover the (infrequent) case where people redefine
PKG_DBDIR while running pkg_add et al (and actually remember to set
PKG_DBDIR in /etc/crontab !).
To be honest, I don't care. If you are doing this kind of thing you
deserve what you get.
If you really want to move your PKG_DBDIR and can't be bothered to
define it correctly, use a symlink. Or, if that's a problem, disable the
backup. This "problem" is not going to affect the overwhelming number of
freebsd users, and I don't think going through a lot of gymnastics to
support people who do silly things is a good idea for either side.
