Hi,

How are we going to explain to all of the people who might want to update 
pkg_install that they have to manually delete /var/db/pkg/pkg_install*?

I thought this was supposed to be fixed already. What happened?

===> real-su-install [pkg_install-20041110] ===> pkg_install-20041110 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
*** If so, you may use either of:
***  - "pkg_delete pkg_install-20041110" and "/usr/bin/make reinstall" to upgrade properly
***  - "/usr/bin/make update" to rebuild the package and all of its dependencies
***  - "/usr/bin/make replace" to replace only the package without re-linking
***    dependencies, risking various problems.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
