If you read
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.html
it says, about half way down the page:
"Note that in the example above lsof is used instead of lsof-4.56.4. When
the remote fetching feature is used, the version number of the package
must be removed. pkg_add(1) will automatically fetch the latest version of
the application."
Can you give a concrete example of what the handbook says, and how
following the steps causes a problem? I'm not seeing it, it's working
fine for me.
