>Description:

	I like to delete packages by doing "cd /var/db/pkg" before. Doing
	so, I can easily use shell tab-completion capability to find the
	name of the package I want to delete. Most shells will complete
	a directory name including path separator at the end. Example:
	
		$ cd /var/db/pkg
		$ pkg_delete op[CTRL+D]
		$ pkg_delete opera-7.23/
		
	If I hit [return] at that point, the package will be deleted, but
	it won't be erased from +REQUIRED_BY files in dependent packages.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	See above.
	
>Fix:

	in pkg_install check if last character of the name of the package
	is path separator and if it is, change it to '0' byte.
