This is OctoPkgin, a powerful pkgin front end using Qt libs.

OctoPkgin is a Qt based GUI front end to the pkgin package manager, derived from Octopkg. It consists of a lxqt-sudo clone called qt-sudo used to gain root privileges and a package browser application used to search, install, remove and update packages. The project is compatible with NetBSD.
