After looking at this some more, it seems like the error is coming from 
the post_install.m file in the io package.  That script seems to be 
trying to move the PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL files after they are installed, 
but the files are not where the post_install script expects to find 
them.  Is this just a bug in the post_install script, or did pkg change 
at some point and break the post_install script for this package?
