In the current world order (installing via a non-syspkg mechanism over a 
registered system), you should clear out /var/db/syspkg and re-register 
after an install.

If you want to avoid doing this, you can do the following after a 
DESTDIR build:

	cd /usr/src/distrib/syspkg/sets
	make package

and upgrade only selected packages, but this is only really safe at the 
moment when upgrading along a release branch, as changes in shared 
library dependencies are _not_ currently tracked.
