You have not done anything wrong. The pkg-builder boxes @FreeBSD.org for 11.x ran with 11.1, while 11.1 was still supported. Unfortunatly, 11.1-build packages for kernel drivers do not always work on 11.2. On the 1st of October, 11.1 expired. The pkg-builder machines will run 11.2 for the next build of ports. Then the normal pkg binaries will work with 11.2. -- pi@FreeBSD.org +49 171 3101372 2 years to go !
