I think I've found why, after untangling the line editing related junk in
the script file a bit. This was one of the pkg_delete commands used to clear
the way of old packages:

dixie# pkg_delete -f bitmap-1.0.3_1/ libICE-1.0.4_1,1 appres-1.0.1
bitmap-1.0.3_1/ encodings-1.0.2,1/ libFS libSM xproto-7.0.15/

Seems that I forgot to either glob * or tab-complete the file names and the
output from that pkg_delete run, seems to agree with my reading of the
^symbols:

pkg_delete: no such package 'libFS' installed
pkg_delete: no such package 'libSM' installed


Perfect problem located between the root users keyboard and chair ;)
