Is there any way to force pkgsrc's build system to actually delete

Or must I do a replace instead of an upgrade?  What does this do to
dependencies I als want to be updated?
The problem is that you seemed to have ended up with multiple versions
of readline in the database. Just do another "pkg_delete -f readline".
thanks, pkg_delete readline twice fixes this issue.  And yes, looking  
at pkg_info from before the upgrade, two packages identified  
themselves as "readline".  Is there any way to reduce those duplicate  
instances to only one?
I would also suggest "pkg_admin rebuild" as the database is most likely
semi-broken.
Yes, it is semi-broken.  Actually, pkg_admin is complaining about  
packages in the db but not on disk.
