pkg can only check versions of packages installed in IPS format. What

installing a newer tarball.

So if I understand correctly, if one uninstalls the IPS version of Thunderbird
then pkg won't try to replace it, so there is an easy way to avoid this
in the general case. And when a non-beta version of 3.0 makes it into
IPS, then all one has to do is pkg install it after removing the beta.
Elegant! Now how to get notified when 3.0 makes it into IPS?

Thanks for making it clear.
