In fact, the handbook even states that. I don't really see an issue here. -current is a bleeding edge development release, that must be built from source, and SHOULD always point to the latest source code. If you are using pkg_add -r <pkgname> to install software, on anything but release versions, you should expect breakage. If you do not wish to build from source, then you should probably stick to release versions. Chuck Burnshome | help
