Just saw in the commit
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commit/6ed10aa80256b340b4e5c422438c435e7aa70c45
that you have to set "NFS_WITH_PROPER_LOCKING" for the fix to work.


    root at server:/ # pkg info
    pkg: sqlite error while executing PRAGMA user_version; in file
pkgdb.c:2442: database is locked

    root at server:/ # echo "NFS_WITH_PROPER_LOCKING = true;" >>
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

    root at server:/ # pkg info
    autoconf-2.69_1                Automatically configure source code on many
Un*x platforms
    (...)

==> I can confirm, that with "NFS_WITH_PROPER_LOCKING" set, pkg locking on NFS
works as expected. 

But honestly, I don't see a reason for keeping the unix-dotfile code, since it
doesn't work with drop_privileges. As far as I can see, everbody who runs into
the unix-dotfile part has to set NFS_WITH_PROPER_LOCKING anyway. No?
