Hi,

There is quite a serious regression in pkg 1.7.1: pkg install fails
with error code 70 if any of the listed packages is already installed.

This in essence breaks every automated server provisioning scripts /
libraries, as pkg install ........ is commonly used as "make sure this
package is installed", and that line will break now and thus stop the
whole server deployment!

I see that pkg 1.7.0 had a regression and was short-lived, but
unfortunately the one introduced in 1.7.1 is much worse!

Zsolt
