You can follow that thread for more background behind the issue and
why we can't easily handle this automatically.
For what it's worth, I just ran into this too, and thought it was a new
issue because I thought I had already done the update.
After building the new nbmake package, I instead of pkg_add -U did
"bmake replace", which worked fine and was easier to type.
