The original ISO was built with gettext-0.11.5 (?), before the big update. One option to install and keep a system current is pkg_chk, you specify a list of packages you want and it will keep them current. For binary-only operation, currently create an empty Makefile in /usr/pkgsrc and set the package directory with -P explictly to the remote repository. The warning about OS version mismatch can normally ignored as long as the package was build for an *older* version. Vice versa can make problems, since some bugfixes affect the binary ABI. Joerg
