There is quite a serious regression in pkg 1.7.1: pkg install fails with error code 70 if any of the listed packages is already installed.
This in essence breaks every automated server provisioning scripts / libraries, as pkg install is commonly used as "make sure this package is installed", and that line will break and thus stop the whole server deployment!
I see that pkg 1.7.0 had a regression and was short-lived, but unfortunately the one introduced in 1.7.1 is much worse!
