Reinstall foo package

[masayoshi]

If I want to reinstall foo package, how should I do?

[cmd=#] pkg reinstall foo[/cmd]
pkg: unknown command: reinstall

For more information on available commands and options see 'pkg help'.

So, if I only want to reinstall foo package, must I type the following command?

[cmd=#] pkg delete -f foo[/cmd]
[cmd=#] pkg install foo[/cmd]

It’s curious that you know about and use the -f option for deleting a package but not for installing it. # pkg-install -f foo will do what you want and is explicitly indicated in the man page: # man pkg-install | grep -C2 reinstall Take a look at the -R option too.
