Please, read messages carefully. You did NOT read required manpage.
"man pkg" is WRONG, and I said about "man pkg-***delete***".
Evidence follows:
jason@cs0:~$ man pkg-delete | col -bx | egrep -A3 '\-f,'
-f, --force
Forces packages to be removed despite leaving unresolved
dependencies. In combination with the -a or --all flag,
causes pkg(8) to be removed as well as all other packages.
jason@cs0:~$
