Then something is wrong with pkg cause it should be doing the chmod/chown
after processing the tar extract, anything else is gona be error prone.

As Kris showed in the ls -i output the files have the same inode,
so the hard linking worked correctly, and the chown/chmod has failed.
Note that NEITHER file got set, so that kinda blows the order is
important hypothisis out of the water.
