Hey guys.

I've two boxes with on which I use pkg from gate. On each of these
boxes, I had:

1. installed Virtualbox from Extra and Opera from Contrib
2. manually updated Opera by selecting it in PM and choosing Update
3. disabled Extra

On one of these boxes, things continue to work as I expect, namely I am
not notified of the presence of any updates for Opera (presumably
because it's already been updated) or for Virtualbox (presumably because
I've disabled that authority). However, on the other box, pkg and PM/UM
insist that there are three packages (1 Opera + 2 Virtualbox) to be
updated.

$ pkg authority

$ pfexec pkg image-update

$ pkg info virtualbox
          Name: virtualbox
       Summary: Sun VirtualBox
      Category: System/Virtualization
         State: Installed
     Publisher: extra
       Version: 3.0.2
 Build Release: 5.11
        Branch: 0.101
Packaging Date: July 14, 2009  6:32:00 PM

          FMRI: pkg://extra/virtual...@3.0.2,5.11-0.101:20090714T183200Z

I'm not convinced this is a bug as much as it is a case of my doing
something silly (though I don't know what) and/or bad timing with gate
revisions. That said, it would be nice if this issue went away.

pkg rebuild-index and pkg fix didn't seem relevant to this particular
issue, but I tried them anyway. :-) No difference. Any suggestions for
how I can convince pkg and PM/UM that my packages are as up-to-date as
they're going to get under the circumstances?

Thanks in advance. Take care.
