Subject: Re: pkg/23583: pkg_delete doesn't strip pathsep from the name of deleted package
Date: Sun, 28 May 2006 21:56:02 -0400

 Concerning PR 23583, the fix for this bug seems trivial.  Revision 1.27 of
 main.c for pkg_delete added support for specifying directory names for
 packages, but it missed this particular usage scenario.
 
 This was PRed as a change request, but I'd term it a bug, given the intent
 noted above to support this functionality.  I got bit by it a couple of times
 before I got around to figuring it out.
 
 I've supplied a patch below, I hope it's satisfactory.  (It worked for me.)
 
 Regards,
 
 Dave
