Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that doesn't seem to work
here. Starting from a server I haven't touched yet:

dns5; pkg -v
1.1.4

...
<edit pkg.conf to remove pkg-test>
...

dns5; grep -v ^# pkg.conf

packagesite: http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest

dns5; pkg install pkg

The following 1 packages will be installed:

This is pretty consistent. Just to be sure, here's the pkg config on this host:
