Hi, 

I built the other day 11.99.1 amd64 and aarch64 and upgraded a few VMs; today I 
decided to try a clean installation under VMWare Workstation. The has worked 
fine for me previously and there is no issue in running it, but in the 
installation process. I have another VM I use for development and when I need 
to upgrade some other machines, both the OS and the installed packages, I run 
simple-http-server over the directories that contain the necessary files, as 
follows:

#!/usr/pkg/bin/zsh
nohup simple-http-server --ip 192.168.0.49  -p 3003 --index 
/bd/sysbuild/release &
nohup simple-http-server --ip 192.168.0.49  -p 3004 --index /bd/pkgsrc/packages 
&

I clean-install from the DVD image and configure the network settings of the 
guest, as usual; the network works as expected. The access is via http, the 
base directory is empty, the packages directory is All and everything used to 
work. However, the initial pkgin package does not get installed - pkg_add does 
not appear to find the package by name, the command 

pkg_add http://192.168.0.49/All/pkgin 

fails with 'no pkg for ' ... 

The same command succeeds if I run it from an already working 11.99.1 host 
using the exactly same repositories.conf file. It succeeds if I mane a softlink 
in the package directory called 'pkgin' pointing to the last version of the 
pkgin package. So it appears the installation procedure requests the exact 
package name and does not allow for wildcards after the package name or 
similar. 

The same happens if I complete the installation without configuring binary 
packages and try the same when the system is booted.
