Is there any way to reinstall a package with all its dependencies?


I am getting the following error:

root at someserv:~ # pkg check -d
Checking all packages: 100%
elinks is missing a required shared library: libjs.so


But reinstalling elinks doesn't help:


root at someserv:~ # pkg install -fR elinks
Updating desktop_nvidia repository catalogue...
desktop_nvidia repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
         elinks-0.11.7_11

Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
[1/1] Reinstalling elinks-0.11.7_11...
[1/1] Extracting elinks-0.11.7_11: 100%


After that same error is shown.
