>Description:
	I upgraded by CD from 4.8 to 4.10-RC3 selecting X-Kern-Developer. 
	Pkg_add complained about old versions of packages such as
	freetype2 and pkgconfig.
	The old versions of packages that are to be updated should be 
	automatically uninstalled first.
>How-To-Repeat:
	After deleting one package on the next attempt pkg_add complained
	about another package.
>Fix:

	Deselect X during the upgrade and install XFree86* manually.
