Actually, the patch for that was by Alistair Crooks -- it's the same
hack used for pkg_install to be independent on what pkgtools version
is currently installed.

Before, there was a circular dependency of pkg_install and digest, but
now linearity has been restored (with digest being independent of
anything, and pkg_install only depending on digest being uptodate).

All should be working fine now.
