hum ? for me, it is the opposite.

pkg_check looks at {src,xorg}.db and PKG_DB for the list of expected
files. But these files aren't in these lists, so it reports them as "not
found" in the list of expected files.

For /bsd{,.rd} it is normal: the files don't come with usual sets but
are copied "as it".
