Nope, won't happen like this. Especially since you're not giving me complete information. You should actually send proper bug-reports. That is, tell what you have installed on your box, what you do, what you expect, and what you get. As things go, you just give us a very fuzzy image of what you expect to happen, and you get disappointed that the tools do not do what you want. I expect you're very confused in your head as well. The tools try very hard to avoid mistakes. If you understand the structure of /var/db/pkg, it's very easy to force stuff without rm -rf /. In your case, I suspect you played some dirty tricks, or that your box got corrupted, so that the info in /var/db/pkg is not accurate. But if you don't give me actual info, I won't help. And I don't care about jumping from 3.9 to 4.6. pkg tools changed a lot between 4.6 and 4.7-beta. I won't tweak things based on your experience of 4.6, since 4.7-beta is vastly improved compared to 4.6.
