Ah.  It turns out that querying any pkgng package directly for its
installed size always returns 0 at the moment.  You'ld need to use the
repo catalogue to get some sort of reasonable answer.  I can't remember
off hand if pkgs are meant to know what their installed size is; will
look into that tonight after work.

Recommend to use pkg search for querying repo catalogues rather than
using sqlite directly, but whatever.

Seems there is clearly a bug in calculating the change in disk space
usage -- looks like it's added the 500MB flatsize of both package
versions together rather than subtracting.

	Cheers,
