Text::ParseWords is provided by the basic perl port -- see, no
installed package:
% pkg_info -Ix ParseWords
pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s)
but the module is still there:
% perl -MText::ParseWords -le 'print $Text::ParseWords::VERSION;'
3.24
What you need to do is force delete the package:
# pkg_delete -f p5-Text-ParseWords-3.1
and then run
# pkgdb -Fu
to fix up the broken dependency linkages. Everything that depended
on p5-Text-ParseWords would already depend on perl anyhow, so just
delete the dependency if pkgdb can't work it out for itself.
Cheers,
Matthew
