I have personally never seen this bug in my virtual machine testing, and I reinstall Snort (and also delete first, then reinstall) a number of times during testing of a given release. I think this same error message has been reported in the past with the Suricata package.
I am not sure what is causing the issue. It's like the package archive itself is somehow corrupted. Note the messages about missing files. I assume that pkg itself is the source of those logged messages. The files logged in the messages are not touched by the Snort GUI package code at all. They are solely manipulated (deleted or installed) by pkg itself as part of removing and/or installing the package. And it is complaining about the older version of those files. It's like the "install of the new version" is trying to share time and space with the "removal of the older version", and they are colliding.
