            Bug ID: 220028
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: "pkg remove -a" doesn't remove package
                    after "pk" in alphabetic order
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

pkg 1.10.1
FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 


-----------------------------------------------
the doc says
-----------------------------------------------
pkg remove

 -a, --all  Deletes all installed packages except for pkg(8) from the
            system and cleans the database of information related to
            removed packages.

-----------------------------------------------
when I try
-----------------------------------------------
root at test-server-1:~ # pkg remove -a
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 7 packages (of 0 packages
in the universe):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
        pkg-1.10.1
        png-1.6.29
        renderproto-0.11.1
        scrnsaverproto-1.2.2
        tcl86-8.6.6_2
        xextproto-7.3.0
        xproto-7.0.31

Number of packages to be removed: 7

The operation will free 20 MiB.

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]: y
pkg: Cannot delete pkg itself without force flag

-----------------------------------------------
my understanding
-----------------------------------------------
it seems that pkg goes into the list of packages in alphabetic order to delete.
When it reaches pkg itself, without the "-f" flag, it doesn't uninstall it and
stops there in stead of carrying on in the list.
