I really don't know why pkg should be used in this stage. I seldom have 
seen so much negative side effects with using a program as with this one.
Is the program not tested thouroughly or am I just too stupid to 
understand? Last time I used it, my complete php port system got damaged 
and had to reinstall BSD from scratch in order to get my active ports in 
line again.

Please understand that writing this is no offence to the author of pkg; 
I really respect all effort that is put in it - I just don't understand 
why it causes me/us so much trouble using it.
