The problem I pointed to is, that at the RELEASE_6_2 two packages of
firefox and openoffice.org exists and via pkg_add -r I receive the older
package of them both, because the links in .../Latest/ are pointing to
the older packages, but the newer packages are available for RELEASE_6_2
(I don't mean RELENG_6)!
