Thanks Anton but I DID RTFM, but i expected to find the answer in the
obvious "man pkg", which by the way, is not there anywhere:
man pkg
...
delete Delete a package from the database and the system.
That's all there is.
The only reference in there to -f is:
bootstrap
This is for compatibility with the pkg(7) bootstrapper. If pkg
is already installed, nothing is done.
If invoked with the (-f) flag an attempt will be made to
reinstall
pkg from remote repository.
I honestly didn't know that there are separate options for "man
pkg-command" but now, thanks to you, I do.
Thanks Matthew ;)!
