Yes that thread might help. So far I discovered the only way to upgrade the packages back to the version in my local repository that pkgin downgraded to the version in the official repositories is by using pkg_add instead of pkgin. I see the aforementioned thread mentions a PKGPATH value, I have not yet investigated trying to tweak that. So maybe I can use pkgin instead of pkg_add for my local packages by adjusting PKGPATH. I will post here again with the fix if I succeed in finding a fix. Thanks, Chuck > > > Regards. > Ramiro. >
