What does this mean: pkg_install-20050718: version mismatch -
pkg_install-20050318

and what should I do about it?  I did pkg_chk -g and now pkg_chk -r.

Thanks,
Robert

Start with "pkg_chk -g" to generate a list of the packages you had before.
Then remove the outdated ones with "pkg_ckh -r" and add them again with
"pkg_chk -ask" (or -abk if you want to use binary packages).  This way
packages are build only once, and you know what you're missing if something
fails.
