this will be fixed by https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52564, which causes
makewhatis(8) to be run when new packages are installed.

this requires the pkg(8) PR https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/pull/2516,
which allows pkg to search for triggers in /usr/share/pkg and not just
/usr/local/share/pkg.

i hope to land both of these changes for 15.0-RELEASE.
