Well, I can confirm this behavior from my today experiences with
print/tex-luatex. As a result of my upgrade attempt my old
print/tex-luatex packages was deleted.

I just upgraded all remaining TeXLive packages and tried a fresh
installation of print/tex-luatex: This time it installed just fine.

I am far from understanding these miracles but I have learned my ports
lesson: Some package refuse to upgrade while being installed - the
error messages, however are quite different.
