>Description:
The documentation of "pkg_delete" says that the environment variable
"PKG_PREFIX" will be set while the de-installation scripts gets run.
This is however not true. As a result you get error messages like
this while de-installion "p5-*" packages:
usage: /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/bin/perllink [-fnv] [-p prefix] add|delete [packlist
...]
This problem is present in both pkg_install 20091008 and 20100130.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_delete p5-Net-SSLeay
>Fix:
I worked arround this problem for "p5" packages. It should however be
solved in "pkg_install".
