When invoked with 'pkg_add -u ...', and the package to be installed is
found already being installed, the old (installed) package is removed
with pkg_delete, and the new one is installed.
A very crude handling of dependencies is done (by moving the +REQUIRED_BY
file aside before pkg_delete, and back into place after the new pkg is
installed).
This needs a lot more work to TRT, but it's a first start.
When the bzip-pkg handling was introduced, a dewey pattern (foo>1) may get
a character-class-pattern attached (.t[bg]z), and the code was not prepared
to match that. I've special-cased handling of character-class pkg suffixes
for ".t[bg]z", and when scanning a dir in findmatchingname() now both the
'first' part of the pattern (e.g. "foo>1") and the suffix (e.g. ".t[bg]z")
must match the file, hence the two pmatch() calls.
* findbestmatchingname_fn():
Caught a case where ".t[bg]z" was not properly handled. Must do the same
suffix-processing again here!

pkg_info
* In pkg_create, compress with bzip2 if a .tbz suffix is given
* Fix pkg_info to work via ftp, either via URL specified on command line
or via one made up from PKG_PATH (if set)
XXX ALWAYS tacks on ".t[bg]z", NOT ".t[gb]z" !!!
The FTP coprocess formerly wrote the output of the "get | tar vxf -" pipe
to stderr, which resulted in no output to the feedback pipe (stdout), and
thus the timeout was not updated for any line printed by the "tar" process.
This was now changed to also feed back the chars to the expect() routine,
updating the timeout handler. The "also" part is implemented by passing
the output through "tee /dev/stderr".
At least NetBSD and Solaris have this, so no problem there.
Thanks to Frank van der Linden for helping me to debug this.
Found during a post-install of a fresh machine:
1. setenv PKG_PATH ftp://smaug.fh-regensburg.de/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386ELF/All
2. pkg_add tcsh ssh XF86Config
3. Run XF86Config
4. pkg_add kde
5. Be done.
We should do this from /etc/rc.local on first boot... :-)
'get pkg.tgz "| cd /var/tmp/inst ; gunzip | tar -x -f -"'), handle
two cases better:
1. Timing out ftp connections: Make sure the hanging pipeline gets a ^C
(SIGINT), and wait until the ftp prompt is available again. Else we
may nuke away tar's working dir, and it may be displeased.
2. One of the commands from the pipeline exiting: caught via SIGCHLD;
for this signal to be delivered, a empty handler is needed)

a bit, to make them more descriptive
* in findbestmatchingname_fn, fix a bug where a null pointer wasn't
caught (I wonder why we didn't actually hit that case...)
* Bugfix in findbestmatchingname_fn: when comparing, strip off any
trailing ".tgz", as this will give wrong results. "1.9.8.tgz" was
found to be greater than "1.9.8.1".
