I think for savepnpc we need to define levels of brokenness. 6.1.2 and 6.1.3
are not completely broken. They display some baffling messages but they
still do the job as designed. It seems that according to Andre 6.2 is REALLY
broken - i.e. doesn't even do the backup properly in any circumstances. I
think the hotfix to 6.2 simply takes savepnpc back to the "not completely
broken" state.

There never has been a savepnpc that totally works. Every release so far
suffers from the problem if the tmp file already exists before the backup.
The only way to get a totally working version is to use the savefixpnpc
workaround or to use a mythical future version.

I wish I was charging money for savefixpnpc....
