Correct.

I've placed two patches to bsd.pkg.mk and pkg_delete up at the URLs below, 
please try them out, they shut up that "key is already present" messages
for me. Please let me know[*] if this works for you. 

http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/pkg_delete-O.part1
http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/pkg_delete-O.part2

(I still do not think that FORCE_PKG_REGISTER should be used here, the
handling in bsd.pkg.mk is broken, hence this fix).
