 This was a clean install of 6.1.3 with packages from the 6.1 repository.
 I believe dirmngr is installed as a dependency on kde-3.5.10, although
 I'm not sure why since kde seems happy without dirmngr running. All
 the startup files were copied from the examples rc.d directory without
 any modifications.
 
 I see this problem on many other packages as well, including
 #postfix=YES
 ipfilter=NO
 ipnat=No
 etc.
 
 That was my reason for originally reporting the problem
 as "program=YES/NO" rather than being specific as to which
 program packages were seeing the error.  I was afraid the
 analysis would zero in on a problem in a specific package
 when it MAY be a more generic problem with the rc scripts
 themselves.
