That's entirely harmless and expected.  There was a change in the
package meta-data between pkg-1.5.x and pkg-1.6.x which results in all
the warning messages you saw but only when installing pkg-1.6.x.  As
soon as pkg-1.6 is installed, it understands the new bits in the package
metadata and stops complaining quite so much.

	Cheers,
