Ok, so running pkg check has so far found a few irregularities. After 3 
months of trying to get my desktop upgraded unsuccessfully due to pkg 
issues, I'm worried to let pkg go ahead and modify the packages 
installed in case it breaks my desktop again.

Is it best, then, to completely remove those packages showing as 
irregular from pkg check and then reinstall? Has anyone run this new pkg 
version already and found it has sorted the problems out successfully?
