did you built it in the ports or with poudriere?
I have also no problem building it in the ports:
a make in java/openjdk8 runs through without an error.
But not if it's build with poudriere (and it was the only package
with such a problem in poudriere) and as a consequence poudriere
could also not build x11/kde4 (in which I'm interested; no
interest in java/openjdk8 itself).

thanks for your explanations. Yes, I misunderstood it and as
already stated I've no experience or knowledge of jails.

I'm not sure what the correct URL for the poudriere-created
repository is, so I looked in /var/poudriere for something
plausible and thought it could be
/usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/11amd64-default
so I set up a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf with:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/11amd64-default/",
  mirror_type: "none",
  signature_type: "none",
  enabled: yes
}

pkg -vv confirmed that ist URL would be used.


Then pkg upgrade produced the following output:

   Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
   FreeBSD repository is up to date.
   All repositories are up to date.
   Checking for upgrades (123 candidates): .......... done
   Processing candidates (123 candidates): . done
   Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
   Your packages are up to date.

At least there was no error but none of the packages
which poudriere had built [built 954, 1 failed, 4 skipped]
were installed.
I don't know how to proceed.


Best regards,
Johannes-Maria
