I don't have a patch-ab, today's sup. If you're supping, make you sure
you use the "delete" or -d option. If you didn't, you can come up
with a list of files to delete by checking the contents of pkgsrc
against pkgsrc.list. E.g:

(cd /usr; find pkgsrc | sort | diff -U0 - /usr/sup/current/pkgsrc.last | \
grep "^-" | cut -c 2-) > LIST

Please don't pipe the above to "rm"; that would wipe out your
distfiles!
