Looking through the 'pkgdb-change' page, I'm missing 2 of the 3 files
/etc/mk.conf has:
PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg
so that line just needs to be changed to:
PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb
I have no /etc/pkg_install.conf file or /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf -
should I create them and just include PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb in them?
Or do I need to do something more (is there other content needed in
those files)?

Per your other email, results of these are:
pkg_admin check: pkg_admin can't open
/var/db/pkg/gdk-pixbuf2-2.40.0nb2/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory
pkg_admin rebuild-tree: pkg_admin: Cannot read +CONTENTS of package
gdk-pixbuf2-2.40.0nb2
_NetBSD-pkgdb check found: FATAL: TWO copies of PKG_DBDIR found
So it's definitely the split-brain package databases problem.
/usr/sbin/pkg_add -V gives: 20191008
/usr/sbin/pkg/pkg_add -V gives: 20210308
Do I need to fix anything there?
Thank you, both for putting the script together and for helping me sort
this out.
