>Description:

Recently I'm now seeing the following from pkg_chk (1.77, but I don't know
what revision started this):

*** Unable to read PKGCHK_CONF '/usr/pkgsrc/pkgchk_update-server.duh.org.conf'

That's nice and all, but there should be no reason to require a configuration
file when using "-u -q", which *only* reports on version number mismatches.
It seems that $opt_q should be skipping something and is not doing so.

("-u -q" is the replacement for the old "-i" option.  When using "-u -q",
pkg_chk should check the versions of installed packages and then simply exit
without further processing.)

>How-To-Repeat:

Don't have a pkgchk_update config file, and run:
$ pkg_chk -u -q

>Fix:

This is new stuff in pkg_chk, so I'm leery of touching it lest it breaks
something.  I only use pkg_chk for *checking* for changes; I have never
used it for actually doing upgrades (as I use "make replace" most of the
time, not "make update").

 Just sent a mail to "gnats-bugs at NetBSD dot org" with a subject that looks
 like "Re: <category>/<PR number>". In your case:

 Subject: Re: pkg/34136

 The "Re: " is important. Otherwise, a new PR is opened.
