problem reinstalling packages

[lbol]

After deleting a couple of packages by mistake and interrupting pkg delete ... by ctrl-C I cannot reinstall the deleted packages.
# pkg install -f ktux gives the following error:

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Updating database digests format: 100%
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'ktux' have been found in the repositories

Also pkg search kde only lists 11 hits

Sometimes the package is named differently than the port. In that case it usually helps if you add the category: pkg install x11-clocks/ktux

In the meantime I have build and installed x11-clock/ktux from ports
But I still have issues.
pkg info | grep ktux now shows x11-clock/ktux as being installed
Trying to force a re-install running pkg install -f ktux as well as pkg install -f x11-clock/ktux result in

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The most recent version of packages are already installed

The -f flag should re-install the package.

Also after interrupting pkg delete ... by ctrl-C pkg info still shows them as being installed.
pkg delete <package> complains about non-existing files. Obviously the package has been deleted but shows up as being installed.
What also puzzles me is the output of pkg search kde as mentioned above

Yes, but it never works for me. This does: pkg upgrade -f ktux
