System: NetBSD cyclonus 1.6ZH NetBSD 1.6ZH (STARSCREAM) #2: Sun Jan 25 22:37:39 CET 2004 bin@cyclonus:/usr/build/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/STARSCREAM i386
>Description:

pkg_delete deletes all meta data /var/db/pkg/PACKAGE for a package even if
the directories/files couldn't be deleted due to missing permissions, a
read-only mounted partition etc, wrong moon-phase etc. This can result in a
lot of orphaned files under /usr/pkg.

Instead pkg_delete should bail out or at least ask how to procede if some of
the deinstallation procedures fail.

>How-To-Repeat:

$ find /usr/pkg -type f -print0|xargs -0 chflags -h uchg # paranoia
$ pkg_delete PACKAGE
