 This is due to a shared library bump that happened shortly after
 9.0-BETA2, after the package was created.  As you mention, it is not a
 problem when building from source, as smartctl links to libcam.so.6
 (which replaces libcam.so.5 in -BETA3 and later).
 
 This should be a non-issue once the packages for 9.0-RELEASE are built
 and the correct $PACKAGESITE for pkg_add(1) exists.
