folders/content

-----------------------+--------------------------
Situation:
Ran `pkgman full`. Had to Ctrl-C due to stalled downloads.
`administrative/transaction-3` ended up with 66 packages (150 MB).
Ran `pkgman full` again, it downloaded all needed packages under
`administrative/transaction-4` dir,
but failed to apply changes due to, this time, #15068.
Ran `pkgman full` again. Got the same failure, but now I have
`administrative/transaction-5` with the same 163 packages (around 316 MB
total) that are present under `transaction-1`
As in... all the content was duplicated on the new folder.
Can repeat the last two steps ad-nauseum or until I get disk full,
whichever comes first :-D
Of note, got an `activated-packages.tmp` with the same datetime as
transaction-5 there too.
`transaction-1` and `transaction-2` where empty dirs (I've just removed
them after the fact).

I've seen similar in the past, but couldn't reproduce it before nuking the
administrative folder, and rebooting, in order to be able to use pkgman
normally again.
This time, I've kept copies of:
- syslog
- activated_packages / activated_packages.tmp
- output of `ls -l1` for `/system/packages/` and the `transaction-n`
folders.
Before nuking things back to order. Hope that's enough. Let me know if I
should attach the 100 KB .zip of all of them, or just specific files.
