 Ahh.  Okay, success.
 
 Okay, I wasn't aware of those directories (not having carefully observed
 all of the output).
 
 It seems like what happened was I had a previous attempt at building something
 from pkgsrc some time ago and those directories were left over from then.
 
 It also seems like these instructions (generated when it failed) were not
 sufficient to resolve this particular problem:
 
 ===> Installing for bootstrap-mk-files-20141122
 ERROR: bootstrap-mk-files-20140516 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
 ERROR: If so, you may use either of:
 ERROR:     - "pkg_delete bootstrap-mk-files-20140516" and "/opt/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bin/bmake reinstall"
 ERROR:       to upgrade properly
 ERROR:     - "/opt/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bin/bmake update" to rebuild the package and all
 ERROR:       of its dependencies
 ERROR:     - "/opt/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bin/bmake replace" to replace only the package without
 ERROR:       re-linking dependencies, risking various problems.
 
 So maybe this could be considered a diagnostic output/documentation issue.
 
 Thank you both very much for your replies.
