Frank,

I avoid major version upgrades and performed a fresh 14.0 install.  Then 
attempted to git clone releng/14.0 due to the errata notices.  
Unfortunately neither git (GPLv2) nor got (ISCL) are included.  So, like 
curl and fetch, I set the environment variables HTTPS_PROXY and 
HTTP_PROXY and attempted to use pkg. Only much later did I realise (man 
pkg.conf Examples) that I needed to set these variables somewhere within 
pkg.conf. ie pkg didn't fail so we can compare.

Anyway to your specifics.  My FreeBSD14.0R install has
/usr/lib/libssl.so.30
while my BSD 13.2S has
/usr/lib/libssl.so.111

I strongly suspect that either your upgrade has become muddled or you're 
using the ports version of pkg.  Check your search path for pkg with

which pkg
it should return
/usr/sbin/pkg
if it returns /usr/local/sbin/pkg then you are using the ports software, 
which remains linked to libssl.so.111.  The other clue is that 
pkg-static isn't in the base FreeBSD14.0 :)

Aside: I can't speak for poudriere being more reliable as portmaster has 
serverd me very well, but I value predictability and simplicity ;)
