Upgrading my current install from last week went much more smoothly this time. I had only the following warnings:

These errors are still very strange.

Getting a list of what *is* installed:

<whimper> Is this related to your umask, do you think? /var/packages should be world readable.
Fixing permission problem about /var/packages:

Hmm, not sure why uninstall isn't working. I also tried 'package remove inkscape' but same results. Ideas?
Well remove is just an alias for uninstall.
This all works OK here (with 0.5.1). All I can suggest is doing this:
export DEBUGLEVEL=3 package uninstall inkscape
then seeing if you can divine the entrails (it's possible a lot of text will be printed). Hopefully that'll help. I can't reproduce these sort of problems, and it's not been reported by anybody else either :(
