No, that's what pkg_rolling-replace is for.

Sometimes in long-ago-update situations, you might rm the pkgdb entry
while leaving the bits.  But you have to figure out what's going on.

I don't know what Leopard means as a number and when it stopped being
supported by Apple, but I'm guessing it's Really Ancient.  I see 10.11
as the oldest macOS that might be expected to mostly work, and probably
12 as the oldest that might be expected to really work.  That doesn't
mean you aren't welcome to fix things as long as it doesn't make
maintenance much harder.  Just that I don't expect most people to see it
as a problem.
