 The origin of the problem is the index_search function in
 src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/index.c, called from config.c:526 .
 
 The search is done in a sorted INDEX so linux_base-6* comes before
 linux_base-7* (which is the "real" linux_base).=20
 
 Obviously this bug appears only when there are more than one package
 with the same basename.
 
 Please note that in 5.3-RELEASE, only 2 packages of those included
 depended on linux_base-6.
 
 I'm going to try to fix this.
 Best Regards
