Please ignore my testing. It was invalid and did not have the correct

Sorry. I did not set 'path = ' in my jail - I think it was using the host.

The above mentioned commands all attempt to install pkg when run in

root@empty_tester:/ # hostname
empty_tester.int.unixathome.org
root@empty_tester:/ # pkg info -l
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.

root@empty_tester:/ # pkg config ABI

root@empty_tester:/ # pkg -N config ABI
pkg: pkg is not installed
root@empty_tester:/ # c

Yes, I think it is, based on my testing so far.
