Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Kiagias
for his (offline) assistance with this. In the process, we seem to have
uncovered a small bug: pkg_add -n apparently does not check properly for
_local_ dependencies. Being a newb, I leave any bug reporting to Mr.
Kiagias.
Thanks again to Mr. Kiagias and the list.
regards,
Tom Holloway
