Muddled wrt pkgsrc

[Bob Bernstein <poobah%ruptured-duck.com@localhost>]

After a long delay I have finally upgraded my netbsd machine 
to 6.1.3, and refreshed the /usr/pkgsrc tree to 
pkgsrc-2013Q4. I then charged off to build claws-mail and 
ran into a bit of pesky business that has always baffled me.

At every turn, as claws-mail ground through its build, I was 
confronted with the need to pkg-delete older versions of its 
many, many dependencies.

Is there a way to tell pkgsrc simply to 'pkg_delete -f' all 
these older versions of dependencies as and when the build 
wishes to replace them with uptodate versions?
