    Dear Tom,

       Unfortunately you have found a problem which those
    in the know prefer to ignore.

       The ports system has been broken with the last
    upgrade, and many of us which have found the same
    problem could not find a solution.

       It has been suggested by some that you could copy
    pkg_info from some newer version. Other person suggested
    re-building pkg_install (in fact, it was incorrectly
    suggested to build pkg_info), after cvsuping src.

       I tried both, with no luck.

       I will go the hard way, re-installing the system, with
    a new version.

       As a side note, I mentioned that I have been using
    FreeBSD for a decade (of course a rough estimate), and
    have been corrected by very knowledgeble (sp?) people
    in opposite directions. One said that FreeBSD was not
    yet ten years old, other said it was ten years three
    months. But still no help with a solution.

       Regards,
       Leonardo
