>Description:
In section 6.3 of pkgsrc guide users are notified many times
that all packages will be removed during bulk build.
But actually very different things happend.

EVERYTHING is removed from /usr/pkg including ALL configuration files.
This is not equal to "all packages are removed", right?
More over, many things are also removed from /var, /home, X11BASE/share
and X11BASE/lib. There is nothing about all this in the documentation.

>Fix:
