Okay Andy, I appreciate the info. If you have time, can you
answer one more question? Could I alleviate this discrepancy
by pkg_delete all installed packages and also deleting all
of /usr/ports/distfiles, and then reinstall packages? And yes,

I'm not Andy, but I do have a moment to answer ...
As Andy said, sometimes snapshot packages lag behind userland
snapshots. So installing packages might or might not make a
difference. If the packages are newer than the base snapshot,
then it probably will at least take care of libc and libpthread
"out of date" reports.
There's no need to delete everything in /usr/ports/distfiles.
That definitely won't make a difference, and if you build ports,
you will probably be redownloading some of those files.

Thanks for the reply and info, Jacob. I cvsup'd new src,
deinstalled all packages, rebuilt everything, and then
started adding packages. Initially, it showed several
packages needing updating when I ran ./out-of-date, so
I ran pkg_add -u and it took care of all except:
devel/gettext # expat.4.0 -> expat.5.0
Maybe with this it's as you say, package is lagging behind
userland, but it's a site better than before, if you read
the list of files in the original message. I'm not an obsd
programmer/developer, and the cvsup/rebuild stuff was just
for learning purposes. Definitely not being done on a pro-
duction box. Probably won't be doing it again, following
current, that is. I'll be doing a new install when I get my
3.8 cd's, and from then on, I'll just be updating that.
Thanks again for the help.
