Are you suggesting that YOU are a typical user??? I don't think so! I've had a few problems over the years, but far fewer than I've had with the pkg_chk function of pkgsrc. (I have never thought that pkg_chk is even a close rival to portupgrade, however.) But -- the problem of package management and package building are two separate topics (I believe).
