To deinstall a package, you have to pass the whole package name with
the version string included to pkg_delete or pkg_deinstall, or you
have the option to use a wildcard, e. g.

pkg_deinstall gtkmm-2.12.7
pkg_deinstall gtkmm\*

But I'd recommend the first possibility over the second one since the
second one would also deinstall any other versions possibly present on
your system, which is possible since your installed packages are
somehow corrupt.
