When installing binary packages from the PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0.2_2011Q2/All/ I get the following warning: pkg_add: Warning: package `pkgin-0.4.2nb2' was built for a platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/i386 5.0.2 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/i386 5.1.0_PATCH (this host) Since I have installed the package compat50 can I safely ignore this warning ? pkg_info -a | grep compat netbsd-compat50-5.1 Compatibility package for 5.0.x binaries
