Details:

This isn't a big deal, but the following command will leak a directory
oct-XXXXXX in TMPDIR.


pkg install foobar


The host systems cron jobs will probably come along and clean the TMPDIR
periodically.  Still, it is bad form and we could probably use an
unwind_protect block to remove the temporary dir.
