This leaves me with just one question: my /usr/pkg is NFS mounted, and
now I have packages installing files in /etc, which I am not now nor
ever will I NFS mount, not even a subdirectory.  I have PKG_DBDIR set to
/usr/pkg/db.  So how do I maintain consistency for all 300 machines that
centrally mount /usr/pkg?

As best I can tell, I either need a two-stage rc (the first cut of which
I posted in a reply to the earlier thread), or this issue will need a
work-around hack.  I'm sure this scenario has figured into your
thoughts, and I ask you what comment you have on this scenario.

P.S. Thank you for your dedication to pkgsrc.  It is a dream come true.
