pkg_check -i has errors with /etc/mk.conf  which I dont seem to recall
happening before.

apparently the following line has an error in it:

     .if  ${OPSYS} =3D=3D "IRIX"

It needs an operator is what make complains.  The make I have in the path i=
s
/usr/bin/make and not GNU make which is in /usr/pkg/bin/gmake

Putting that aside though, pkg_chk will only give me a list of
packages that need to be
upgraded.  I would then have to do something like a 'make reinstall'
for each one of those
packages, yes ?=20
