System: NetBSD nbftp.isc.org 1.4.2_ALPHA NetBSD 1.4.2_ALPHA (NBFTP) #0: Sat Apr 1 10:53:52 PST 2000 explorer@kechara.flame.org:/raid0/OS/NetBSD/src-1-4/sys/arch/i386/compile/NBFTP i386


>Description:

when doing 

pkg_delete -R foo
when foo depends on "bar>=x.y", a file "=x.y" will be created in the current directory.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

1 particular example (but this will delete packages on your system, so don't do this
unless you don't mind):
the dialog pkg depends on ncurses>=4.2 so:

pkg_add dialog
ls
# note no "=4.2" file
pkg_delete -v -R dialog
ls
# note "=4.2" file with the result of "pkg_delete -v ncurses" in it.
	
>Fix:
make pkg_delete either expand dewey depends on recursive delete or simply drop the version number.
