Thanks!

I overlooked that. (That also explains why "pkg_info vixie-cron" without
version did not work either.)

I used vixie-cron-4.0.1. That is the version number the author told me in
February. The README says 4.0 was released over two years before this
version was dated.

(I have a few pkgsrc packages to submit via send-pr.)
