--- Comment #2 from ivy@FreeBSD.org ---
this is not a bug: using 'bsdinstall pkgbase' to overwrite an existing
installation is not a supported method of switching to pkgbase.  instead, you
should use pkgbasify to do this.

for users who insist on doing this, the required steps are documented on the
wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgbase#A.pkgsave_files -- however this is an
obsolete method of switching to pkgbase.
