Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I copied only the packages to the new
system (my netbook) some weeks ago, and created the catalogue with

# pkg repo /usr/PKGDIR.20150726

and installed the packages; Today I built 8 packages more, copied them
over too and was (may be in error) expecting to add these 8 new packages to
the catalogue with 'pkg update -f'

Seems that I just have to reuse 'pkg repo ....'

Thanks for your hints.
