The first time I tried to add linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz to a new-from-CD
7.0 installation, it complained about a missing dependency that
was on the other CD.  OK, I switched CDs and installed that, then
switched back and retried linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz, and it gave me some
sort of error about an unbalanced add operation.  (I didn't try
to copy down all the details, figuring instead to retry with a
script(1) active so as to capture them.)  Upon that retry, it now
tells me that the package is already installed, even though the
prior attempt failed.

What is going on?
