Oh! It's just the package renaming:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2025/01/21/msg030401.html

Perhaps we should special case replacements, since this happens so often 
that a conflicting package should be able to replace the thing it's 
replacing.

Also, it'd be good if the messages went to stdout or stderr. Where do they 
go? Here's what my logs look like:

===> replace-message [php83-8.3.17] ===> Replacing for php83-8.3.17
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/php83


On the topic of things that are never quite fixed, is there any good 
reason why vim and vim-share are separate packages? Would anyone install 
vim-share without installing vim? It seems we can't ever update them 
reliably (or at least not with pkg_rolling-replace), so now my workflow, 
in addition to needing to spawn off a tmux, is to pkg_delete -f vim-share, 
then run pkg_rolling-replace, then cd /usr/pkgsrc/editors/vim and make 
update.

It's getting kind of kludgy!
