Reinstall package process stalls at pfBlockerNG when restoring a config
100%
Description
The package install process for pfBlockerNG completes but the processes do not close out preventing subsequent packages being installed:

Killing those processes manually allows the re-install package process to continue.

Issue here has to do with pkg(8) hardening that prevents it from spawning long-lived processes. pkg(8) uses procctl to change the default process repear from init to itself, which means any processes that pkg starts are not going to be adopted by init which is standard operating procedure for daemons.
I have patched pkg in our ports tree to work around this limitation while we continue to investigate a better service management solution.
