Hey, recent update to the repo caused below issue for me on my Mac M4

$ doas pkgin update
processing remote summary (https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/packages/Darwin/14.5/arm64/All)...
pkg_summary.zst                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       2%   64KB  64.0KB/s   00:38 ETA
pkgin: Cannot open pkg_summary: Can't initialize filter; unable to run program "zstd -d -qq"
$

Rerunning the bootstrap script from https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/ resolved the issue.
Tried the above on two macs, and both got the same issue, only downloading 2 percent then stopping...

    Oh, that's not good! I've temporarily removed pkg_summary.zst so pkgin should fall back to pkg_summary.gz while I figure this out.
