I cannot look now, but you might be right, and this definitely needs careful reviewing. Can you open a ticket ?

I wonder if add_pkg should handle pmpkg from files differently and duplicate these before adding them to the transaction. This would be less confusing to the frontend, which would always need to free a pmpkg coming from pkg_load.

I opened FS#23731 about this issue. I also opened FS#23732 about a very unconvenient behaviour with empty transactions. Rémy.
