Hello,

Something is wrong with 'pkg' in 10.2. I've started a VPS on DigitalOcean; the cheapest $5/month one. With plain FreeBSD 10.2, right after logging in I typed:

sudo pkg install vim

Output:

Processing ....
pkg: Skipping unknown key 'messages'

It seems to have worked, but it looks like something is wrong. I reinstalled FreeBSD 2x and it's reproducible.

DO apparently ships with an old version of pkg in their official images. pkg will self upgrade to it is safe, now the next pkg update will not have the warning anymore.the packages are backward compatible and those warning are expected from time to time. but everything is safe.
