OK the only reference[1] I can find regarding this, indicates that answering "Y"
to Allow missmatch now? resulted in an ABI mismatch that caused pkg(8) to be
unusable.
This is on an older version of 12, so I don't have anything that might have
appeared in UPDATING. I really need this jail to resolve accumulating pr(1)'s
on ports(7) I maintain.

Thank you.
