Wow.  I have no idea what that would do.  It should have been
"pkg_delete nulib-3.25".  Specifying the whole path, um, it looks to
me (based, admittedly, on less than 30 seconds of looking at the
source code) like that should have given you an error message.
Are you sure you presented that transcript correctly?  [The script(1)
command can help a lot here.]
