"pkg: unknown command: bootstrap" if system has an update pkg

[freecris]

Hi,

if system has a pkg updated, running pkgbasify I got:
pkg: unknown command: bootstrap

Solution:
pkg delete -f pkg

Maybe this should be in the README file.

What pkg version are you using? I cannot reproduce this issue or see why it would happen.

When I run pkg bootstrap on a system where pkg has already been bootstrapped it simply logs a message and exits cleanly.

Hi Isaac,

this is in a different box:

# uname -rms
FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1 amd64
# pkg -v
2.0.6
# ./pkgbasify.lua
Running this tool will irreversibly modify your system to use pkgbase.
This tool and pkgbase are experimental and may result in a broken system.
It is highly recommend to backup your system before proceeding.
Do you accept this risk and wish to continue? (y/n) y
pkg: unknown command: bootstrap

For more information on available commands and options see 'pkg help'.
Error: failed to bootstrap pkg.
# pkg bootstrap
pkg(8) already installed, use -f to force.

Ok, I can reproduce the issue. pkg bootstrap still works on pkg 2.0.6 but pkg bootstrap -y seems to have regressed and now causes the very unhelpful "unknown command bootstrap" error to be logged. I'll add a workaround in pkgbasify and fix the bug in upstream pkg.

Thanks for the bug report, this should be working now :)
