macOS Monterey vs pkg_install

[Jonathan Perkin <jperkin%joyent.com@localhost>]

For anyone using my binary package sets, and anyone using their own 
pkgsrc installs on macOS Monterey, note that there is an issue when 
upgrading pkg_install where it will intermittently fail and result in a 
broken installation.

I would strongly recommend avoiding upgrading to this OS, at least if 
pkgsrc is important to you, until we can figure out what the latest 
Apple breakage du jour is (looks highly likely to be VM related again).

If you happen to have already run into issues, you need to unpack a 
binary package of pkg_install manually and then use the unpacked 
./sbin/pkg_add to reinstall the package.

Sorry for the breakage.  Unfortunately Apple have absolutely no desire 
to let us help them find these issues, even though I find serious bugs 
in every single Apple OS release of the past few years simply by using 
and building pkgsrc on them.
