--- Comment #4 from J. B. <jbtakk@iherebuywisely.com> ---
v9 > v10
"pkg install" seems to work okay.
... despite installing gnomehier that has already been deprecated AND removed
from the ports tree... probably as a dependency

-PP portupgrade )) works fine, sometimes does not find the pkg, pkg fetch finds
it...

[maybe also see pair of emails dec 26-27 2014 to the ports@freebsd.org list]

I would suggest if resources allow using a pre-pkg v9 system, pkg2ng it, and
test for this PR to resolve where it may still happen.  Then the bug there
could
maybe be solved in pkg (all versions) so that it does not appear again, say, in 
v 11 or v 12... 

Additionally, updating a v9 > v10 pkg files and usage and reinstall of pkg
only eventually worked because I had a working v10 from which to synchronize
"repos" "etc/pkg" "/usr/local/etc/pkg*" files until the errors dissipated. 
Maybe a wiki or pkg-message or pkg-check-lines-of-files could make that use
case simpler for new installs, etc... [ not to mention the 'key' files ] and be
also put into the wiki and man page(s) ... sort of like a 'sysinstall but just
for pkg files and parameters...' 

Hopefully my last entry to this PR since I am mostly running V10...
