pkgin upgrade command removes pkgin and can't reinstall it

[Razors Edge]

I installed minix3 with Vitrtualbox, host Ubuntu 20.04. It took a long while but it finally became workable OS. After all installed I ran "pkgin update" with no errors. I then ran "pkgin upgrade". After this pkgin was not found if I ran an install command like "pkgin install nano" I get "pkgin not found".

I tried reinstalling it using pkg_add:  "PKG_PATH=http://minix3.org/pkgsrc/packages/3.4.0/1386/All pkg_add pkgin"

Returns

"pkg_add:  Warning: package 'pkgin-0.9.nb3' was built for a platform:"

"pkg_add: Minix/i386 3.4.0 {pkg} vs. NetBSD 3.4.0 (this host)

"pkg_add 1 package addition failed"

So I now have no pkgin and can't install packages. Any idea are greatly appreciated. I'm sorry that I couldn't enter the actual lines of code.

I hope responding with an email is OK. Thanks for any help.

I get the same kind of error in the err.log as shown below. Here's a screenshot of an attempt to install xdm.

This from the err.log

Hello,

I have a little experience with pkgin, so I'm afraid that you'll have to reinstall your system.

Best regards,

Peter

Just for the sake of some thoroughness, the URL link in the path above:

• http://minix3.org/pkgsrc/packages/3.4.0/1386/All

It had a typo.  Instead of "1386" it should be "i386":

• http://minix3.org/pkgsrc/packages/3.4.0/i386/All/

That may have been the reason it wasn't working.
