>Description:
	I'm doing a pkgsrc upgrade of a 7.1 host using the 7.0_2018Q2
	packages on ftp.netbsd.org using "pkgin".

	The first problem which I've mentioned elsewhere is that as
	part of the latest rebuild & upload, apache 2.4 got upgraded
	from 2.4.33nb1 to 2.4.34.  However, the pkg_summary files
	which are in the same directory still refers to 2.4.33nb1,
	which cannot be found.  We should probably take steps to
	reduce the chances of this problem re-occurring.

	So I thought "fine", let's manually remove apache 2.4 on the
	local host and manually reinstall it afterwards to cross this
	hurdle.

	The next hurdle was that pkgin wanted to upgrade pkgin itself,
	but the build result directory doesn't contain pkgin, while
	pkg_summary refers to pkgin-0.11.3.  Again, I thought "fine",
	lets' manually build pkgin from source and install and use
	that, which got me pkgin 0.11.4.

	Doing "pkgin -y fug" it seems that the new pkgin somehow
	disagrees with whatever the old package had left behind,
	causing what I think are nonsense error messages:

# pkgin -y fug
calculating dependencies...done.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to upgrade a i386 7.1-running host to pkgsrc-2018Q2 using
	pkgin.

>Fix:
	Sorry, don't know.
