Hmmmm...  Can you add a little diagnostic output to pkg_manage and tell
me which args its invoking pkg_add with?  I may have broken something
with my recent changes and would like a chance to debug it!

Also, please put the failing package information up for ftp someplace
so that I can debug the problem under the same set of circumstances.
