Well, the command

pkg_chk -P 
ftp://dfpkgsrc/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/1.6.0-RELEASE/i386/All -abf
fetches the sourcefiles, writes [Fetch] and exits. If I do like this:

pkg_chk -P 
ftp://dfpkgsrc/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/1.6.0-RELEASE/i386/All -abu

then it fetches the files and does the upgrade (well, it tries its best, 
of course I had to manually fix dependency hell for 2+ hours).
