No. I think you misunderstood...

I `downgraded' last year. So there is some extraneous stuff in the 
filesystem. I understand postinstall can't clean up items it does not 
know about.

But I've been on netbsd-3 since October 2005. And performed several 
upgrades and postinstalls with no issue.

This problem also happened on another system where I was doing a binary 
upgrade.

Just look at /etc/mtree/set.base and the list of obsoletes. And I *did* 
run etcupdate too, so the mtree files are up-to-date...

Is this not reproducible?
