I picked up a hint, perhaps incorrectly, that you had pkgdb confusion. I am guessing that pkgin does not directly access PKGDB_DIR. But if it does, that's another source of potential trouble. Before you can expect anything to work, you must reduce confusion about pkgdb location to zero. That means exactly one database, and both base tools and pkg tools configured to use that location. It is not clear to me that you are in a healthy state. Due to the high amount of confusion this change has caused, ~everyone should have PKG_DBIR set in both /etc/pkg_install.conf and /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf. My view is that in 2026, the only healthy state is to have pkgdb in the standard location, which on NetBSD is /usr/pkg/pkgdb. Maybe that's unrelated to your problem, but I think it's best to firmly take it off the table.
