Actually it shouldn't be. While it does print the new name, it should be
trying to deinstall whatever mysql-server package is installed.

It's supposed to do a pkg_info -e "mysql-server-[0-9]*" which should
report the name of the installed version (which is NOT 3.23.35nb1, as you
well know). It then should say, "Running pkg_delete <installed version>".

What is it saying after ===> Deinstalling ...
What does pkg_info -e "mysql-server-[0-9]*" report?

Take care,
