This prevents accidental package loss if reinstall is run from local

Thanks. This seems right, so please apply.
Possible further improvement: Do not offer "Reinstall" in the popup menu
in this case.
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...)
