I am running (right now) a "4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Sun Jun 10 
17:50:16 CEST" system. 

I saw those errors while running a simple mergemaster -v -d. So I went 
diff'ing here and there to see what had just happened. AFAICT, nothing 
serious. The files had been correctly updated (despite the messages stating 
exactly the contrary). 

You may wish to just run mergemaster once again **after** updating your 
configuration files. N.B. in the first run, you will have to ignore the 
complaints about the impossibility of installing the various relevant files.

It seems to be a harmless bug. I simply didn't find time to complain a couple 
of days ago, and I almost forgot all about it :-)
