pkg 1.21 version installed and tools expected 1.19 - auto-fix?

[computeronix]

When running

make base kernel packages arm-3G DEVICE=RPI

error occurs if pkg version 1.21 that the script version expects 1.91

workaround:

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make reinstall

after:
verify pkg version is 1.19

pkg -v

Looks like related to: #442

make -C ${PORTSDIR}/ports-mgmt/pkg clean all reinstall

Could you update the make code to auto-fix rather than run the code above? Does that make sense to?

This is not a workaround. It’s a manual step that is necessary at the moment — and could trash your build host package database given any recent FreeBSD pkg incompatibility.
