Hi Stuart,
Am trying the your previous solution on another server where I seem to
have scrambled the pkg upgrade process again. Those steps worked great on
the first one, which is now running 6.7 fine.
Why would the packages for a current stable release seem to get hung up
on the package database getting locked for a still newer release?

slippery# pkg_info -mz >/root/pkg_list_manual
Package database already locked... awaiting release... ^C
