I would call this "known". SGI uses strange package names internally.
I think we shouldn't bother for the time being. I plan to incorporate
pcp-2.8.0 into our development stream in the next development tree
(stout7).
I also don't think pcp-gui stricly replaces pcp-sgi:
- some stuff moved from pcp to pcp-gui
- there are still some closed-source stuff in pcp-sgi that we need to
continue to ship.
