I think if you restart it, all shall be well. The reason for this is that
you run the 'build' script, then update it (via itself). The updates to
the 'build' script will only take effect on the next run.

If that is not the cause, it might be questioned why there is no
bulk-install target. IIRC that's only available via some variables in
/etc/mk.conf. Make sure you have BATCH=yes there.

Well, that's because digest is needed to build anything, and that's
probably left over in the end. As the next bulk build will take care of
removing it (first), that shouldn't be that much of a problem, no?

These files are also collected in the "leftovers" file, check out
e.g. ftp://smaug.fh-regensburg.de/pub/NetBSD/pkgstat/last/leftovers-i386.html

Well, the reason for #3 is files not being in pkg's PLIST files.
The reason for #4 is that some variables are not set properly inside pkg's
Makefiles, and that should be taken care of). Fixing this is a combination
of guesswork and mechanical work, and it would be nice to get the number
of leftovers down.
