Thanks.  This seems right, so please apply.

Indeed.

That might be simply fixable, but really, we need to keep an index of 
the files in the package cache, so we can handle situations like this 
properly, without spending lots of time spinning rust (we could then 
also do some expiry on the cache, which is a feature that has been 
needed for decades...)
