>Environment:
	ref10-i386.freebsd.org
>Description:
	https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/commit/6c805f9fac79c9f9827420f4a58fef7265ce9281
	introduced a severe regression for anyone (like me) using the
	FreeBSD Ports Collection also as non-root:

	if (geteuid() != 0) {
	  warnx("registering packages can only be done as root");
	  return (EX_NOPERM);
	}

	[I first submitted this in October, but sadly it seems GNATS
	ate that report, and now I am stalled on my work on the ref*
	cluster after Peter enforced pkgng today.]
>How-To-Repeat:
	export PREFIX=${HOME}/somewhere
	export LOCALBASE=${PREFIX}
	export PKG_DBDIR=${PREFIX}/dbpkg
	export SHAREMODE=644
	export BINOWN=`whoami`
	export BINGRP=`whoami`
	export MANOWN=`whoami`
	export MANGRP=`whoami`
	export SHAREOWN=`whoami`
	export SHAREGRP=`whoami`
	make INSTALL_AS_USER=1 BATCH=1 FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 install

	This has been working for many, many years and been the base
	of nearly all of FreeBSD ports development and testing.
>Fix:
	Disable this test again, or at least if INSTALL_AS_USER as set
	in the environment.

	(Disabling this test everything seems fine to me as a user.)
