The listed files are really a symlinks to directories.
They seemed to confuse the hell out of pkg_delete.  It would 
warn about something like `attempting to remove <...> as a file' but
would never get rid of it. Then the upper level directories wouldn't be
removed because they're not empty.  pkg_delete won't be able to get rid
of the thing now, or at least it wouldn't for me when I tried it.
maybe pkg_delete needs to be taught about symlinks -?
