Perhaps it's just that I've spent too much of my life doing
human-factors work, but if pkg doesn't want to do anything for me
once my version has passed its use-by date, it damned well
shouldn't do ANYTHING. It should just tell me "nope, 10.2 is too
old, entirely toooooo olllllldddd. No packages for you!"
The one thing it should NEVER do is break its existing install!
I agree with your urging, Franco, that the problem be solved in a
general and non-hostile way.
Now, how do I revert the pkg version? :-(
