[oi-dev] How to kill old sfe package meta-data?

I have a system that apparently had an sfe publisher at some point.
Now attempts to update userland components run into problems:

# pkg -R /mnt install system/virtualization/open-vm-tools
system/virtualization/open-vm-tools-desktop
Creating Plan (Evaluating mediators): -
Errors were encountered while attempting to retrieve package or file data
for
the requested operation.
Details follow:

The requested operation requires that one or more package repositories are
configured for publisher 'sfe'.
Use 'pkg set-publisher' to add new package repositories or restore
previously
configured package repositories for publisher 'sfe'.


I tried to get rid of the sfe stuff but can't figure out how.  Ideas?

root at vm530gwr# pkg list |grep sfe
driver/network/sfe                                0.5.11-2017.0.0.16842
