Doing so now. Downloaded the pkrsrc-current, deleted /usr/pkgsrc and 
started in /meta-pkgs/gnome. Unfortunately, I get this:

=> Required installed package py24-Numeric-[0-9]*: NOT found
=> Verifying reinstall for ../../math/py-Numeric

while in /math/py-Numeric:

<snip>

py23-Numeric-24.2 requires installed package python23-2.3.5nb7
bash-3.1# pwd
/usr/pkgsrc/math/py-Numeric

This is all from pkgsrc-current, 6-10-06. Why does it expect py24 while 
it has py23? Any clue about it?

Thanks
