A minor (I hope) problem installing pkg

Х

Харбин Хэйлунцзян

I am now reading Chapter 4 (Installing Applications: Packages and Ports) of the Handbook and under 4.4.1 I read this:

---------
Otherwise, to install the port, run:

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
# make
# make install clean
---------

When invoking the last command I got an unexpected message - it's already installed. Do I understand it correctly that it is a mistake in the Handbook and I shouldn't have run the bare make?

The first time you run pkg(7) it does a bootstrap to download and install pkg(8) (which is ports-mgmt/pkg).

There was this before:

---------
To bootstrap the system, run:
# /usr/sbin/pkg
---------

And I did invoke it. But when I realized that it would download the port from the net, I explicitly answered in the negative (capital N) to the question. So I did not install it via the bootstrap.

It's when I invoked the bare make that there was some bustle - a lot of compiling and some such other activity.

Ok. I've just run:

# make clean

Am I safe out of the mire or there are other implications to the predicament?
