Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> has asked pkg at FreeBSD.org for
maintainer-feedback:
Bug 211141: pkg+pw: doesn't run pwd_mkdb, maybe other problems
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211141



--- Comment #2 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
The original category was base system / bin, the post-triage category is ports
& packages, which (as a product) doesn't have versions except head/quarterly
(hence 'latest'). This is different than the version under which a particular
issue is occurring (the system with the issue)

If the issue is *actually* in the pkg(8) bootstrap system or binary in the base
system, rather than the pkg port/package (the third party code that is
installed by the bootstrap), then the issue should indeed be re-classified. If
not, it is correctly classified currently, and further should/could also be
reported upstream: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg

It's unclear at the moment why 10.3 is unaffected but 11.0 is not, but that
does not itself necessarily mean its a base issue

Leaving to maintainer to classify accordingly post investigation
