Thank guys. pkg was up-to-date. The message I got said it was going to install the single package. The install process have no wanring. I later hit the problem when I used one of the affected packages. As I was 1500 miles from the workstation and xfce was included in the 138 packages a 'pkg upgrade' was going to hit, upgrading was not in the cards. I could use the system just not any of the 68 packages that were invalidated. A warning would have been nice. I believe as, I have no need to have the latest stuff, if I can find libpng15.so.15, I will see how that works. Going with a new system is probably quicker that the upgrade process will be. I thought be point of having an installed DB on my system is that pkg could have said what was going to be deinstalled. I did not need tigerVNC that badly. If anyone knows how to check for this issue that would be as good as a fix.
