I don't recall receiving errors regarding space. All the packages were
downloaded at once. Only half way through installation it complained
that some packages could not be installed. Unfortunately I cannot find
a log of these errors.

It this can help, I recall viewing these messages:
"File xxxx can be safely deleted if no other applications are using it".

I am just recalling from memory.

Isn't pkgin developed by the core developers at Netbsd. If there are
any risks of running a full upgrade maybe that option should be
removed. I can't see what I've done wrong before launching the
command.

Is there any way to reset the /usr/pkg and start again? At this point
I am not even sure the output of pkg_info can be trusted.
