When doing a major upgrade, e.g. from 12.1-RELEASE -> 12.2-RELEASE, pwd.mkdb et al. appear in the INDEX = and we clobber the timestamp several times in the process of packaging up t= he existing system into /var/db/freebsd-update/files and extracting for comparisons. This leads to these files not getting regenerated when the= y're most likely to be needed. Measures could be taken to preserve timestamps, but it's unclear whether the complexity and overhead of doing so is really outweighed by the marginal benefit. I observed this issue when pkg subsequently failed to install a package that wanted to add a user, claiming that the user was removed in the process. bapt@ pointed to this pre-existing bug with freebsd-update as the cause.
