If that was for a self-compiled version from the -stable branch
with "6.7-stable" in the kernel version number, that might affect
which directories are searched for. I don't have anything running
with a -stable kernel around to check that but I do *not* see that
with 7.1 + syspatches.

Not sure it's the same issue though, pkg_info is likely to behave
a bit differently than pkg_add.

I'll add to my "what exactly do you see" with:

- is anything set in PKG_PATH in the environment?

- what are the contents of /etc/installurl?

- what is the kernel version (sysctl kern.version, or better just
include dmesg)?

- what command line was used to attempt installing texlive_texmf-full?
