Well, the problem is that given the code of pkg_chk and the output I am
witnessing that there is no way something that outputs "installed in previous
stage" will end up in the failed-list as the deciding point (existance of the
respective directory in the pkg-db) *cannot* be false (else there would be
no output of "installed in previous stage").

Which is why it surprises me that there are some packages which output "installed
in previous stage" and end up in the install-list and others which output the
same and end up in the fail-list.

... hmm makes me wonder where the FAIL variable gets reset which is checked to
decide whether something should be in the fail-list or install-list...

... hmm it's reset in run_cmd which isn't reached if the pkg was built "in
previous stage". Maybe pkg_install should do "FAIL= " at its head.
