here's how I run into this (and the ssh /etc/moduli file problem):

        I build on a fast machine.

        I rsync /libexec, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /rescue, and /usr
        around.  Oh, and /var/db/pkg

        I cvs checkout src/etc and run

                ./postinstall -s /root/src check

        and of course "fix".

Now in this case, obsolete is handled on the build box, but it would
be really handy to perhaps put them in /usr/share or something, as
well as a copy of moduli so I can get that updated if it were to
change...

I used to build source on all machines, btw, but that was over two
years ago, thank goodness.
