Hi,

I'd like to remove a pkg entry from the database so it's not managed by pkg.
Can't see a way to do this via pkg-delete(8)

The reason for doing this is because this pkg has its own ecosystem and i'd=
 like it
to manage the pkg, get updates and so on.

One way around it would be to move the installation to a temp dir then dele=
ting the=20
pkg then moving it back. I just wondered if there's a better way?

context:=20
% pkg -v
1.17.5

FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 main-n254097-388c12e3f4a arm64.aarch64

thanks
