hi there,

call me stupid (i am) but i can't find out how can i make
pkg_delete delete a package without worrying about anything

i am trying to do a local upgrade of blackbox to 0.70.1
the upgrade is trivial, compiles fine without any change,
just bumping the version number.  now my package is ready
and i want to remove the old and install the new.

yes, i know, i could probably use pkg_add -u but i'd like
to try it this way.

amaaq> sudo pkg_delete blackbox
Can't remove blackbox without also removing:
bbkeys-0.9.0


yes, it makes sense of course, that bbkeys has bb as run dependency
but this is a bit strong, is it not?  i mean i don't see any problem
leaving bbkeys on a system where there is no blackbox.  pointless, yes
but certainly not impossible.  it's like you can't delete xmms-mp3
without deleting xmms itself.


so i look at the pkg_delete man page, and i can't see
anything which reminds me rpm -e --nodeps (or some such, it was a long
time ago).

how can i make pkg_delete more macho and just go ahead?

-f

and don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
