>Number: 357 >Category: bin >Synopsis: pkg_delete aborts when subcommand fails >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Apr 20 18:50:01 1995 >Originator: & Wang >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386 >Environment: 950322-SNAP >Description: When pkg_delete fails to remove a file, it leaves the package in the database, which will then have to be removed by hand. There is apparently no way to force the removal of the package. This happens all the time, because errors or missing files in packages are common. >How-To-Repeat: pkg_add xanim2683.tgz ... see missing man page error pkg_delete xanim2683 ... see can't remove man page error pkg_info xanim2683 ... see that package still claims to be installed >Fix: Don't know. Probably a flag should allow errors to be ignored. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
