You need to be using pkg 2.7.2+ in order to have a libfetch that
supports RFC 3986 from what I'm told. pkg has switched away from use of
libcurl. https://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release_*/
is special in requiring this for now. FreeBSD:16:amd64/base_release_*/
and later also will require such.

pkg commits are up to 2.7.4 now.
