oesn't a trusted source not have one? IMHO, you really should run stable. Although you might look at the patches and decide not to. packages-stable may or may not have security fixes you need. syspatch often, but not always, needs a reboot.

Have you read all of the relevant man pages? pkg_* What is your PKG_PATH (if using). unset PKG_PATH is a quickie, temp fix if it's wrong. Have you changed /etc/installurl?
