pkgsrc just updated.

Looking at, for instance, Xrender:

the links in /usr/pkg/lib each refer to the same named file in the
depot:

$ l /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  51 Oct 10 00:54 /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.a@ -> /usr/pkg/packages/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/lib/libXrender.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  52 Oct 10 00:54 /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.la@ -> /usr/pkg/packages/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/lib/libXrender.la
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  52 Oct 10 00:54 /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.so@ -> /usr/pkg/packages/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/lib/libXrender.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  54 Oct 10 00:54 /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.so.1@ -> /usr/pkg/packages/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/lib/libXrender.so.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  58 Oct 10 00:54 /usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.so.1.2.2@ -> /usr/pkg/packages/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/lib/libXrender.so.1.2.2

but what's registered in +COMMENTS is different:

$ cat /var/db/pkg/Xrender-0.8.4nb1/+CONTENTS

Here the shared library symlinks are shown to link to the fully-numbered
libXrender.so.1.2.2.

Pkg_delete will complain about this and not remove them. I suppose an
install of an upgraded version will then fail.
