hi there, so here is a real life example. i started an install on a clean machine. the box locked up, i did a hard reboot. the +CONTENTS entry of pango got corrupted. so i deleted all of /var/db/pkg/pango-* now i'd like to reinstall it.
what is the correct procedure here? do i have to remove everything and start over? i tried a simple pkg_add cairo, of course pkg_add complains, some files have the same checksum, some dont but in the end it says fatal issues in installing pango and aborts. reading the man page, it would seem to me, that -F conflicts is for cases like this but it ends the same. i also tried a pkg_add -u to see how it reacts but it just went through all the existing packages and ignored pango totally. -f -- fact: fourteen out of every ten people like chocolate.
