Well, compare @endfake to all the stuff the gtk-update* whatever said over the last 2 or 3 months each time glib2 changed... Most of the time, when packages internals change, you don't even see a thing... as for endfake, I rushed things a bit, as we don't have that much time before next release, which is the reason that you even SAW the warning.... as for warnings, sure, go ahead, ignore them... pkg_add is not VERY verbose compared to everything that goes on internally. They tend to be incredibly useful when someone really gets into trouble, and they give me a verbatim transcript of what went wrong...
