>Description:
I tried to update standalone-tcsh from 6.13 to 6.14 and got a
bunch of strange, contradicting messages indicating that there
is something seriously wrong within the pkgsrc install process.
First the naive approach, a 'make update' - shouldn't be too
much of a problem since this is a leave package, right?
Well...

# make update
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in standalone-tcsh-6.14.00nb1
===> Installing for standalone-tcsh-6.14.00nb1
===> standalone-tcsh-6.13.00 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
*** If so, you may use either of:
*** - "pkg_delete standalone-tcsh-6.13.00" 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.

I'd have expected 'make update' to be capable of updating
foo-3.44 to foo-3.55, but maybe that's just me... Second try,
do what pkgsrc tells me to:

So, we installed standalone-tcsh but then failed to register
it with the pkg database. Cool. Maybe if we tried again?

Yeah, right. You said so.

"Not installed"? "Already installed"?
Another one?

pkg_delete: package 'standalone-tcsh-6.14.00nb1' doesn't have a prefix
[hf@Heiligenberg] /<3>shells/standalone-tcsh #
There is nothing like a good, descriptive error message.
Another try, yet another different error:

==>> Like in the "pkgtools/pkg_install" case, the pkgsrc
install process is inconsistent and far from robust here.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to update shells/standalone-tcsh package.

Yes, please.
