My box uses postgresql, if that's any help. Given that I'm getting the
problem on pkg_version, I suspect it's one of my installed ports causing
the problem. So I tried this:
[root@m20:/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7] # make clean
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 695: Inconsistent operator for pre-
everything
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
[root@m20:/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7] # ls
Makefile files pkg-descr pkg-plist pkg-
plist.notk scripts
Makefile.org pkg pkg-install pkg-plist.doc pkg-
plist.odbc typescript
distinfo pkg-comment pkg-message pkg-plist.jdbc pkg-
plist.tcl typescript.1
[root@m20:/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7] # ls pkg
[root@m20:/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7] # rmdir pkg
[root@m20:/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7] # make clean

There's the cause. pkg.
But the symptoms don't point to pkg as being the issue. How can we make
it so if pkg exists, a reasonable error is produced?
What's wrong with having :: all the time?
Does that help anyone?
