Thanks Anton but I DID RTFM, but i expected to find the answer in the
obvious "man pkg", which by the way, is not there anywhere:

man pkg
...
delete  Delete a package from the database and the system.

That's all there is.

The only reference in there to -f is:

bootstrap
             This is for compatibility with the pkg(7) bootstrapper.  If pkg
             is already installed, nothing is done.

             If invoked with the (-f) flag an attempt will be made to
reinstall
             pkg from remote repository.

I honestly didn't know that there are separate options for "man
pkg-command" but now, thanks to you, I do.

Thanks Matthew ;)!
