--- Comment #1 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> ---
Do you still get the problem when using pkg-1.8.3?

Because of the current number of packages that have edge case issues with
errors in the plist that can cause pkg deinstall errors like this one (pang=
o's
plist was fixed, but too late for existing pango packages in the wild that =
had
the error), pkg-1.8.3 tries to ignore such failures.  When most (all?) pack=
ages
have cleaned up their act, pkg(8) can then re-introduce code to not ignore
package deinstall errors (and some class of package install errors).

By the way, another workaround is to mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/1.8.0 && touch
/usr/local/lib/pango/1.8.0/modules.cache before upgrading the pango package=

Then remove those after you did the upgrade.  That could have been added to
UPDATING.  But it was probably easier to just update pkg(8) to ignore the
deinstall error for now.
