FYI, I've made two changes to the packages system lately to allow it
working without version numbers:
1. pkg_info and pkg_delete will now look for any version of the
named package installed:
pkg_info emacs
pkg_info -qL xlockmore
pkg_delete mpg123
This works by looking for "pkg-[0-9]*" if no "pkg" is found installed.
2. "make deinstall" now doesn't only look & remove the version of a
package currently in pkgsrc, but any (other) version as well.
