Here is what I found and how I "solved" my missing lib issue.
If during the installation process you select the option to install pkgin,
pkgin does get installed; however, when it tries to pull pkg_summary.tgz it
fails with the now infamous '/usr/pkg/bin/pkgin: Shared object
"libcrypto.so.12" not found error message.' On my second attempt to install I
skipped that step. Once I logged in as root I was able to ftp base.tgz and
pkg_summary.tgz. As a side note, I had to use ftp since wget, curl and fetch
all depend on libcrypto.so.12. I knew to grab those files based on Manuel
Bouyer's timely respond to my first "cry for help." I unpacked both files.
Since I am nigh unto a noob I searched the pkg_summary in order to find where
libcrypto.so.12 should live. BTW, the other missing lib file was libssl.so.12.
Here is what I did:
$ cat pkg_summary| grep -i requires | grep libcrypto.so.12 | sort -u
REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.12
$ cat pkg_summary| grep -i requires | grep libssl.so.12 | sort -u
REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libssl.so.12
I already unpacked base.tgz, so I simply copied usr/lib/libcrypto.so.12 to /
usr/lib/libcrypto.so.12. BAM! My world just got a little brighter!
Now I can continue building my NetBSD desktop.

I had the same earlier. I added pkg_install using /usr/sbin/pkg_add,
this brought the necessary libraries for pkgin, which I then installed
and setup. Obviously it didn't work from the installation cd.

pkgin is so much nicer. Plus, I am not sure what else depends on
libcrypto.so.12. Your thoughts?
