Thanks.  But I still couldn't find anything on the mailing list or
in UPDATING to indicate that this substantial change was happening
in pkg 1.17.  Could the numerous (but seemingly harmless) "duplicate
dependency" messages I started getting around that time whenever I
did a "pkg upgrade" from my local repo be connected with that new
version?                                                  -- George
