Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Kiagias  
for his (offline) assistance with this. In the process, we seem to have  
uncovered a small bug: pkg_add -n apparently does not check properly for  
_local_ dependencies. Being a newb, I leave any bug reporting to Mr.  
Kiagias.

Thanks again to Mr. Kiagias and the list.

regards,

Tom Holloway
