Comment (by jstressman):

 I've now run into yet another really irritating side effect of this
 "trying to be helpful" non-helpful behavior.

 I erroneously filed ticket #9504 because Haiku was opening PDF files
 without me installing BePDF, leading me to believe there was a bug with
 installoptionalpackages listing an already installed program.

 I didn't realize until just after I'd filed the ticket (and did a search
 and only found copies on my backup drive) that Haiku was picking a random
 copy out of the several in my backup folders and using that instead.
