First is this even an issue for stable?

No, this works fine on 14.2. The issue is with /var/log/packages being a symlink to /var/lib/pkgtools/packages on -current, if you do an
ls on /var/log/packages, it will show the symlink, where if you add the trailing slash, it will show the contents of the symlinked location.
Code:
jbhansen@febtober:~$ ls -l /var/log/packages
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 28 2019 /var/log/packages -> ../lib/pkgtools/packages/
jbhansen@febtober:~$ ls -l /var/log/packages/ | head -n10
total 28448

The only thing that *needs* to change is anything with an ls for /var/log/packages without the trailing slash. If you add a trailing slash, it will then work properly on both 14.2 and -current.
Willy has
changed this on sbopkg's master for when 15.0 is released, but this commit won't work on 14.2 and older since it changes the package database location from /var/log/packages to /var/lib/pkgtool/packages.
