That /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg was missing seems to be a bug in
portmaster, which was used to upgrade pkg-2.3.1_1 to pkg-2.4.1,
because when I do 'pkg delete -f pkg' and 'make -C
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean' the directory is created
correctly. I guess I should learn that portmaster really is an
outdated method to upgrade.
When the port is installed using make, ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg may
be removed by /usr/ports/Templates/BSD.local.dist if the directory is
empty.
portmaster is merely one of the entities through which that operation
is carried out.
Also, just a quick FYI, I tested the upgrade of pkg-2.3.1_1 to pkg-2.4.1
today using portmaster on both FreeBSD-14.3-R-p5 and FreeBSD-15.0-STABLE
(latest 15-n281026-e2a87c08171a) and I didn't have any issues or errors
at all. The "pkg" command continued to work as expected afterwards.
I haven't tried copying any "pkg" packages to another system to test,
but everything seems to be in order for the way portmaster is building
and installing the port.
