Thus, the failing statement is ln.

It looks like source isn't patched correctly, and staged installation caught it.
Normally packages should not install anything outside LOCALBASE which
seems to be standard /usr/pkg in your case.

Package installs files not into intended place.
It isn't clear why this happens, either source wasn't patched enough
(and it doesn't honour pkgsrc's PREFIX) or your environment is
contaminated with settings that override normal PREFIX.
