>Description:
if pkg_delete is invoked while sitting in a directory that it will
remove, it doesn't completely remove the package.

This was found by doing the following:
# cd /etc/pkg/rc.d
# pkg_delete openssh
[stuff deleted]
pkg_delete: Toto! This doesn't look like Kansas anymore!
# pkg_info -e openssh
openssh-3.4.0.1

as 'sshd' was the only file in /etc/pkg/rc.d, the directory was
removed.

>How-To-Repeat:
see above.
>Fix:
workaround is to run pkg_delete again and ignore the warnings. real
fix is to make pkg_delete correctly and completely remove the package,
regardless of whether the cwd will be deleted or not (it doesn't
matter to most shells, and shouldn't matter to pkg_delete).
