Also, I am trying to look through the source code in pkg_delete to see what could have created this message. As best as I can tell, this message must have been created by the function matchallbyorigin in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/lib/match.c which was called by the function pkg_do in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/delete/perform.c. The source code for pkg_do contains the disclaimer "This is seriously ugly code following. Written very fast!" Do you remember at all the command you typed that created this message?
