Subject:   Problem removing links to directories with pkg_delete
Message-ID:  <p04330100b79c8edc182d@[192.168.0.2]>

I made a port (scilab 2.6, see: ports/26997) that includes a file named "config" in it's plist. This file is a link to a directory. (the name has no importance)

When I use "make deinstall" to uninstall the port, everything is fine.
(I used the recommanded test ordering in the handbook and everything went fine)

But when I use pkg_delete, it complains that the directory enclosing "config" cannot be removed because it is not empty. Indeed, it contains "config", which was not removed. I suppose it's because its MD5 checksum changed while pkg_delete removed file in the directory "config" points to.

What is the recomended way to cope with this problem (and with links inside plist in general) ?

Thanks,

js
