Did not seem to work for me (at least first try). I applied the two 
changes from your patch.

I reinstalled my pkg_install-20090518.

Did a "make clean" in /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install

Ran "make update" which resulted in:

...

I don't understand why it says "20090610" for deleting above.

Then I did a "make update" a second time and it worked and it cleaned my 
home so I lost my previous tarball (from pkg_tarup).
