>Description:
If /var/db/pkg/<package name>/+CONTENTS contains absolute pathnames,
files are not deleted.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a package using make MANPREFIX=/usr/local/somewhere install, then
pkg_delete the package. The man files are not deleted because
/usr/local//usr/local/somewhere/man/... cannot be found.
