Hi Greg!
thanks for replying...

It sounds like you are not having a pkg_rolling-replace problem, in that
the underlying make replace does not work. Please see the
pkg_rolling-replace man page where it asks that problems with a make
replace (that was ordered reasonably) not be reported as
pkg_rolling-replace issues.
I didn't mean it is a pkg_rolling-replace issue, it is just started from
that.
If make replace itself fails, the problem is underlying. In this case it
appears to do nothing.
I thought the order of packages rebuilt could be wrong. I thought that
perhaps the pkg tools need to be updated first?
so I tried "make replace" in pkg_install

this is for certain not a very helpful error!
I would suggest checking your pkgdb (that you only have one, rebuild,
rebuild-tree, check).
I did build & rebuild, but since I manually removed some packages to
ease the burden of upgrade, I reissued it.
Didn't think to run check - good point.
pkg_admin check finds issues:
e.g.
pkg_admin: x11-links-1.35: Symlink
`/usr/pkg/share/x11-links/include/xorg/BT.h' exists and is in +CONTENTS
but target does not exist!
pkg_admin: x11-links-1.35: Symlink
`/usr/pkg/share/x11-links/include/xorg/IBM.h' exists and is in +CONTENTS
but target does not exist!
but there are several failed checksums, e.g.:
../usr/pkg/lib/libffi.a fails MD5 checksum
./usr/pkg/bin/libtool fails MD5 checksum
...../usr/pkg/lib/libpkgconf.a fails MD5 checksum
./usr/pkg/lib/libhistory.a fails MD5 checksum
/usr/pkg/lib/libreadline.a fails MD5 checksum
I rebuilt libtool and readline manually, they replaced fine! But still I
cannot replace pkg_install
