I wrote several simple scripts to run on the official NetBSD FTP server to analyze some of the package files and available package databases (pkg_summary). I report about old or missing pkg_summary, missing important packages, duplicate names or multiple versions, old packages, and old symlinks. (Later also report if pkgin config is wrong.) Some more details are at http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/pkgsrc-package-sanity/README. The reports are in the same directory. It is not automated yet.
