This is what they say :-)

Run make update directly in pkgtools/pkg_install.

Starting from 2009Q1 (AFAIR) pkg_add updates packages inplace. This with 
combination of DESTDIR support makes this procedure possible:

cd /usr/src/pkgtools/pkg_install/
bmake USE_DESTDIR=yes package
pkg_add -u /usr/src/packages/pkg_install-[DATE].tgz

The same procedure works with bootstrap-mk-files and bmake packages.

And one more small related hint ... Note, that pkg_add rejects update 
attempt to the same version already installed. I often screw up some of 
my packages during development and would like to reinstall it from known 
good package. Then this procedure works:

pkg_delete -f 
pkg_add package.tgz
pkg_admin rebuild-tree

I've wondered about this too; the last time this bit me when updating a
bulk build, I ended up using pkg_delete -ff to get rid of _everything_ and
rebuilding from pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap.  This may be more catastrophic
than you want.

The best thing may be to ask on the pkgsrc-us...@netbsd.org mailing list. 
I'd like to know the best answer too.

pkg_delete failed

Hi Trying to update packages I got the following output

dfly-bkpsrv# pkg_chk -g
dfly-bkpsrv# pkg_chk -r
pkgtools/pkg_install - pkg_install-20090610 < pkg_install-20090724

What should I do to update pkg_install?

Thanks
