I did those things as matter of course. It think its a directory at
/var/db/pkg/sus-libs/ that is empty that is causing the grief.
It also appears to have a funky name from some kind of error
somewhere.
/var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-pam-0.99.8.1-r1
If I knew anything about python I might try fixing it since a well
written script ought not to cave on an empty directory.
But since I don't I just moved the directory.
