Unable to create a pkg repo?

[Autumn Jolitz]

I have a very stable Release6.4 internet gateway that’s been running for 3 years without much intervention. 

I recently rebuilt the kernel, world and updated the packages with whatever changed on the 6_4 git branch.

I prefer to keep a local binary pkg repository for my dports. In this case, I get basically libarchive erroring over zstd:

[autumn at kerberos ~]$ sudo -H pkg repo /usr/packages/
Creating repository in /usr/packages/: 100%
Packing files for repository:   0%
pkg: zstd is supported, but not builtin
Packing files for repository: 100%
Cannot create repository catalogue
[autumn at kerberos ~]$ echo $?
1

I’ve reinstalled pkg, tried setting COMPRESSION_FORMAT=txz, etc. 

Can’t seem to force pkg to create the repo manifest in an older format.

I’m a little hesitant at the moment to try to jump this particular box to master given that I’ve no terminal to work with, only a hard drive and another Dragonfly machine to chroot with.
