  jperkin: Got a strange error message today while updating a smartos trunk image:
• 07:18
  jfqd1
  pkg_admin: corrupt pkgdb, duplicate PKGBASE entries:
• 07:18
  jfqd1
  p5-HTTP-Cookies-6.10nb3
• 07:18
  jfqd1
  p5-HTTP-Cookies-6.11
• 07:18
  jfqd1
  But: p5-HTTP-Cookies-6.10nb3 cannot be removed cause spamassasin depends on it.

  To solve the situation I had to remove spamassasin and install it again. Is there a better way?

  it's a new error I added to catch pkgdb corruption, it should never be possible for there to be duplicate PKGBASE (i.e. a package name without the version suffix) to exist in the pkgdb

  anything interesting in your pkg_install-err.log to suggest how you got in that state?

  it's mostly to catch when people accidentally unpack a bootstrap tarball over an existing install, but would also catch any other attempt at manually unpacking packages

  jperkin: it is an old trunk image, never unpacked a bootstrap tarball over an existing install. Sorry nothing helpful in the logs.

  Cool that you added this hint to catch pkgdb corruptions! So I could have reloved it :-)
