pkg_rolling-replace(8) is generally rolling along now for me - discounting
the fact that 'make replace' still seems to be broken if invoked by a
non-root user using su(1). But it apppears to occasionally invoke 'make
install' instead of the expected and promised 'make replace' for already
installed packages:

Should I take this as symptom of a messed-up pkg database, even though I've
seen it on two machines now that have very different history and installed
packages?

Or is this a quirk lurking in pkg_rolling-replace(8)?
