I have an existing bug report for correcting the pkg-delete man page: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194981 Whilst my patch doesn't change the wording of the -f, --force option, the wording of that option makes more sense in the context of the man page once it explains the default behavior is to delete packages that would be left with unresolved dependencies.
