I assume that you have "WRKOBJDIR = /p/obj/pkgsrc" mk.conf.

Or just do "rm -Rf /usr/pkg/" followed by "rm -Rf /var/db/pkg*".

Cleaner is "rm -Rf /p/packages/*".

Just make install given the above but see below.

I assume that you have already built pkgchk.conf.

I find that some packages build binary packages and some don't.  The
fact that none of them are built for you may be a pkgchk issue.  I
don't use it.  I manually figure out which packages to build and run
"make package install" in each directory.  There may be a flag that
forces the package to be built every time but I haven't found it yet.

Parse error.  Do you mean "Yet, packages are installed" or that they
are not installed as in "yet to be..."?
