(Sorry for the late reply, I'm working through a two-week email backlog.) DES is correct; the newer pkg_version (which uses the ORIGIN directive) is better able to make a determination about what's current. "up-to-date with index" in more recent versions of pkg_version is the equivalent of "up-to-date" in older versions (the ones that only checked the INDEX file). Martti, you didn't say why this was a problem for you...or was this just simple curiosity?
