Hello

Why does this happen:

# pkg set -p -n py311-:py312-                                                       

Do you want to batch replace 'py311-' in package name with 'py312-'?[y/N]: y        

pkg: sqlite error while executing update packages set name = replace(name, 'py311-',
'py312-') where name glob '*py311-*' in file pkgdb.c:2781: UNIQUE constraint failed:
packages.name                                                                       

Why does it fail? How to fix it?

thanks
