some suggestions.  Please keep me Cc'd, as I don't subscribe to tech-pkg.

Here comes more ...

This moring, I made a 'sup -s'.
'lintpkgsrc -i' showd me the following:

----- cut here -----
Bogus: p5-${DISTNAME:S/./-/1} (from /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/p5-XML-Parser/Makefile)
Version mismatch: 'eterm' 0.8.9 vs 0.8.10
Version mismatch: 'glib' 1.2.9 vs 1.2.10

What is the best course of action now to get those packages up to
date?
