for some reason, it gives me the same error... the funny thing is
pkgdb gives me a nice colection of errors as well :D


# pkg_info | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-3.0.51.r22226 A general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware

# pkg_delete -f virtualbox-3.0.51.r22226

pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/lib/virtualbox'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
