FreeBSD 11.4 / 12.2 pkg-install problems startup service

Hi,

We been using for past 3,4 years FreeBSD (amd64/aarch64) for our own products, 
without problems. We are creating our own software, and we build FreeBSD binary 
packages from our software. So our software does install as a FreeBSD binary package.

We have noticed changes starting with 12.2 and 11.4 releases. For example we cannot 
start anymore our own services, using pkg-install script [1] during pkg add | install phase. 

This works fine on under FreeBSD 10.x, 11.3, 12.0, 12.1 but not on 12.2 or 11.4 

Are there any big changes regarding pkg and the way pkg-install or pkg-deinstall work?
Any ideas ? We need to be able to start automatically our sofyware after we have installed the
binaries and configurations … 

Thanks,
Stefan
