            Bug ID: 194981
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg pkg-delete(8) man page incorrectly
                    describes behaviour if unfulfilled dependencies

The pkg-delete(8) man page currently states:
"If the set of packages to be deleted would leave installed packages with
unfulfilled dependencies, pkg delete will emit an error message and quit
without deleting anything unless forced to proceed by the -f option."

This is no longer the case with the new solver. The behaviour of pkg-delete(8)
has now changed to automatically recommend removing the leftover packages that
would otherwise have unfulfilled dependencies.

The pkg-delete(8) man page needs to be updated to reflect this change in
behaviour.
