1) I have various pkgdb.refcount directories that do not contain any
files.

For example:

1042292        4 drwxr-xr-x    3 root             wheel
512 May  5 10:35 /usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb.refcount/dirs/usr/pkg/lib/kde3/
1042299        4 drwxr-xr-x    4 root             wheel
512 May  5 10:35
/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb.refcount/dirs/usr/pkg/lib/kde3/plugins
1042363        4 drwxr-xr-x    2 root             wheel
512 May  5 10:35
/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb.refcount/dirs/usr/pkg/lib/kde3/plugins/designer
1042367        4 drwxr-xr-x    2 root             wheel
512 May  5 10:35
/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb.refcount/dirs/usr/pkg/lib/kde3/plugins/styles

1042369        4 drwxr-xr-x    2 root             wheel
512 May  5 10:35
/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgdb.refcount/dirs/usr/pkg/share/applications/kde


I have many others too.

Should this pkgdb.refcount system remove unused directories?

2) Also what are the +PREEXISTING files for? (Please don't say "use the
source!" :)

3) On another system that uses binary pkgsrc packages (but doesn't do any
pkgsrc builds), I have many /var/tmp.refcount/ files.

Such as:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           23 Apr 29 07:34
/var/tmp.refcount/files/etc/gimp/2.0/unionrc/instmp.9lGym6

which contains the one line entry:
/var/tmp/instmp.9lGym6

I guess this may be related to my +DISPLAY messages saying "Information
for /var/tmp/instmp.9lGym6" or like that.

And why /var/tmp.refcount -- is that the correct directory?
