Actually there is an inherent logic bug within pkg_add then. It should 
be able to recognize that this package does not exist and exit gracefully.

Overall, IMHO we need a complete overhaul of NetBSD packaging system. 
There is a real lack of dependency checking, upgrading (which breaks 
other packages way to easily) and management.
