I see the same with multiple installs - Started with 7.4. No
modification to default installurl.
It is amazing - For 5 years, I never considered that pkg_add(1) could
fail (and it didn't)! Updating my install scripts to try until the
last package add, with -l option, is confirmed. A little concerned
that a package could be partially installed / marked manual and not
work (I think this has happened and I restarted from scratch).
