Bug ID: 288973
Summary: pkg-mgmt/pkg pkg-delete - SYNOPSIS is missing -f
option
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: erichanskrs@gmail.com
On 14.3-RELEASE, using pkg v. 2.2.2, latest.
pkg-delete(8):
(A)
SYNOPSIS
pkg delete [-DfnqRy] [-Cgix] pkg-name ...
pkg delete [-Dnqy] -a
(B)
OPTIONS
[...]
-f, --force
Forces packages to be removed despite leaving unresolved de-
pendencies. In combination with the -a or --all flag,
causes pkg(8) to be removed as well as all other packages.
(A) and (B) contradict each other.
It seems the SYNOPSIS should be:
SYNOPSIS
pkg delete [-DfnqRy] [-Cgix] pkg-name ...
- pkg delete [-Dnqy] -a
+ pkg delete [-Dfnqy] -a
Likewise for the SYNOPSIS describing the long options:
pkg delete [--{no-scripts,force,dry-run,quiet,recursive,yes}]
[--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pkg-name ...
- pkg delete [--{no-scripts,dry-run,quiet,yes}] --all
+ pkg delete [--{no-scripts,force,dry-run,quiet,yes}] --all
--
