Cannot install xorg on dfly-x86_64-4.0.1_REL

[Aero 9000]

Hi Folks,

I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list for me to post this to,
but if not just tell me and I'll be out of your hair. Anyways, I've known
of DragonFly BSD for a couple of years now, just never got round to install
it until a few days ago. So I downloaded the greatest and latest version
and set up a virtual machine just to give this one a try. Installation went
smooth. However, since I'm more of a GUI type person I also wanted to set
up xorg and then gnome (of XFCE or maybe even KDE). But I never got round
to deciding which desktop I want, because of an error during setting up
xorg.

I typed, pkg install xorg

That first caused pkg to update itself and then pkg started pulling in
packages and installing them until an assertion failed. The message reads,

Fetching xf86-input-keyboard-1.8.0.6.txz: 100%  9 KB   9.2k/s  00:01

Checking integrity...assertion failed (pkgdb_ensure_loaded(j->db, p2,
PKG_LOAD_FILES|PKG_LOAD_DIRS) == EPKG_OK), function
pkg_conflicts_need_conflict, file pkg_jobs_conflicts.c, line 211.

Child process pid=990 terminated abnormally: Abort trap
# Dec 23 17:13:55  kernel: pid 990 (pkg), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core
dumped)

(minus one or two typos, perhaps...:-) )

I then downloaded the version 4.0.0 iso file and installed that one more or
less successfully (it gave me some other odd things, but that would be for
another thread). On 4.0.0 I was able to setup xorg and then XFCE.

So, what gives?
