Setting PKGDIR is evil!
>From pkg_add(1):
[...]
-K Keep any downloaded package in PKGDIR if it is defined or in cur-
rent directory by default.
[...]
The environment variable PKGDIR specifies an alternative location to save
downloaded packages to when -K option is used.

For me it reads like "set PKGDIR in /etc/profile to have a local cache
for fetched packages". This is still a bug since 1.66.2.2 of pkg_add(1)
