When I try to update suse_base, I get the following error:

pkg_delete: unable to change directory to /var/db/pkg/communicator-4.76nb1! dein
stall failed

But communicator isn't there:

# pkg_info -a | egrep comm
# pkg_delete -f communicator-4.76nb1
pkg_delete: package 'communicator-4.76nb1' not installed

Where is it?  Rather, where is whatever suse_base thinks is there?
