that reports the problem, but doesn't resolve it.

according to the man page --recompute should only be used when one has
modified the package.  AFIK I haven't touched it, so this would not be
wise.

So the original question still open: what's the right way to fix this?
Reinstall the package using
   pkg install -f foo  ?
