>Description:
This happens on systems where the packages are installed from binary
packages.
No messages are displayed when running pkg_delete and no config files,
et cetera are cleaned up.
+DEINSTALL files since early February don't list any filenames to
remove and I don't see code to remove files. (In early February,
many changes were done to the mk/install/ scripts.)
I don't have any +FILES (or related) files. I see that pkg_add'ing
a package runs +INSTALL which generates the +FILES (I think in a
temporary staging directory).
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at +DEINSTALL for some package that should remove check
and remove configurations.
>Fix:
Maybe pkg_install/files/create/perform.c should also tar up:
+DIRS
+FILES
+PERMS
+RCD_SCRIPTS
+USERGROUP
Or maybe the +DEINSTALL scripts also generate the needed +DIRS,
+FILES, +PERMS, +RCD_SCRIPTS, and/or +USERGROUP scripts.
