Yep, it’s a real problem. I ran into it myself a few weeks ago.

Many of the scripts and files in sys/etc have been moved, for pkg base. 
This, combined with ezjail doing the install wrong breaks your jails.
Brad posted a patch to the ezjail mailing list. I can’t immediately 
find an archive linke, but this should fix it:

	--- ezjail-admin        2018-08-12 09:41:46.750946000 +0200
	+++ /usr/local/bin/ezjail-admin 2018-08-12 09:42:42.863180000 +0200
	_at__at_ -1053,7 +1053,7 _at__at_

	     # make and setup our world, then split basejail and newjail
	     cd "${ezjail_sourcetree}" && env DESTDIR="${ezjail_jailfull}" make 
${ezjail_installaction} || exerr "Error: The command 'make 
${ezjail_installaction}' failed.\n  Refer to the error report(s) above."
	-    cd "${ezjail_sourcetree}/etc" && env DESTDIR="${ezjail_jailfull}" 
make distribution || exerr "Error: The command 'make distribution' 
failed.\n  Refer to the error report(s) above."
	+    cd "${ezjail_sourcetree}" && env DESTDIR="${ezjail_jailfull}" make 
distribution || exerr "Error: The command 'make distribution' failed.\n  
Refer to the error report(s) above."
	     ezjail_splitworld

	   fi # installaction="none"
