Summary:
Trying to forget the Xcode Command Line Tools package receipts doesn't work, but pkgutil still reports that it does.  When you try to forget the receipt, it gives you an error message, but then reports that it "Forgot package 'com.apple.pkg.DevSDK_OSX1012' on '/'." anyway - which is a lie. Pkgutil should inform you that it can't do this operation successfully.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the Xcode Command Line tools package from developer.apple.com
2. $ sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.DevSDK_OSX1012


Expected Results:
Since this package receipt cannot be actually forgotten due to SIP protection (see radar 16990965, for example), pkgutil should tell you that it will never be able to forget it.

Actual Results:
Unknown error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 ""com.apple.pkg.DevSDK_OSX1012.bom" couldn't be removed." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.DevSDK_OSX1012.bom, NSUserStringVariant=(

), NSUnderlyingError=0x7f8affc55470 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}.
Forgot package 'com.apple.pkg.DevSDK_OSX1012' on '/'.
