I am not saying that the package was installed incompletely, incorrectly, or something else because I don't know which of those applies. *The package installation itself* threw an error message, with no instructions for recovery, and left the package database corrupted (incorrectly showing the package as installed). pkg_delete was only partially successful, perhaps because it was unable to completely clean up the corruption. Now what? # pkg_delete -v linuxdoc-1.1_1 Trying to remove dependency on package 'xmlcatmgr-2.2' with 'textproc/xmlcatmgr' origin.
