In my experience it is unnecessary to add "WITH_PKGNG=yes" in a fresh FreeBSD 10 box, and it is certainly not necessary to run pkg2ng since there are no installed packages. The pkg_* tools are not included in FreeBSD 10 and the pkg(ng) system is the default. -- Jim Ohlstein "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." - Mark Twain
