This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed.  This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

WARNING:
    The /etc/dfs/sharetab filesystem has 0 free blocks. The current 
installation requires 151 blocks, which includes a required 150 block 
buffer for open deleted files. 151 more blocks are needed.
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
