Sometime after experiencing this problem I discovered that my ports had suffered from the accidental introduction of some packages which had been built for rev. 6.4 (see the thread under http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-January/210421.html). As a result of this I had to completely remove and re-install all my ports and I haven't seen the "leave_playpen" problem since then. It might be just coincidence or it may be that pkg_info just got confused by all the links to wrong and non-existent libraries. Could it be that the ports in your main system are corrupt but those in the jail are clean? -- Mike Clarke
