It's not clear to me how pkg_rr works and I've never used it, but I 
fixed a lot of issues around this a few years ago in pkg_install, and 
nowadays pkgin will call "pkg_admin rebuild-tree" to resolve any 
remaining problems after replacing packages:

I'd suggest pkg_rr do the same, or add your own hook to run "pkg_admin 
rebuild-tree" after each package is replaced.
