I don't think so. I do it like so:

pkg_info | awk '{print $1}' > pkgs.txt

remove pkgin from the list

while read -r pkg; do
pkgin remove $pkg
done < pkgs.txt

forgive errors. I'm writing from memory on my phone.

It's been awhile since I've done this so can't make any guarantee.

I have a feeling this may be needed if I would need to go back to the Q3 release.
