Depends on your definition of "normal." :) It's not uncommon for there
to be small mistakes in a port's plist (packing list) that may be
related to configuration options, or outright error. pkg_delete is ultra
paranoid about deleting things for you, so you should look at the
messages, look at the directories mentioned, and feel free to delete
things if you think it's appropriate.
Good luck,
Doug
