Maybe dump the pkgdb (pkg_info -F) and grep for that filename to see for
which package the file was registerred previously. 

If you think something's fishy with the old package, you can rebuild the
pkgdb entries with "pkg_admin rebuild". If you (really!) feel the urge to
remove all the pkgdb entries of a certain package (without touching the
(isntalled) package otherwise), use "pkg_delete -O foo-1.42". But you
shouldn't need to do any of these...

Question on the arising of that problem... are you using
FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER or so anywhere (env)?
