Well, apparently not. Once I had done all of the other stuff, specifically
"pkg update" and then another pass of "pkg upgrade" I just did:
pkg install abiword
pkg install gimp
and that got all of the above reinstalled and nicely updated. So I'm a
happy camper now, but I'm still totally perplexed as to why uname -a
is still showing my as running 12.2-RELEASE-p7 rather than 12.2-RELEASE-p10
and also I'm still totally perplexed as to why my firefox and postfix
didn't get properly reinstalled/upgraded when I previously did just
"pkg upgrade" (thus causing those two to fail).
Sometimes I think that the "new" pkg system still has some rough edges.
