There is no particularly good reason to keep pkg_tools around once you've made the switch to pkgng. pkgng should provide replacements for all the pkg_tool functionality and slot into its place quite smoothly. However, I'm not sure that there's been adequate testing on a pkg_tools-free setup, so it is not entirely outside the bounds of possibility that you might run into some odd problems. If you do, please report what happens, as that's definitely a bug that needs fixing. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
