% uname -v

% pkg -v
1.3.4

Decided that it was time to cleanup the pkg's installed on my system.  The other day it was spending a lot of time updating a port, which was a left over dependency of something else....

Ran pkg_rmleaves....which then spent a long time, and found no further leaves to remove (which didn't make sense, since I know there would be at least be many fpc-* ports still to remove.)

After some digging around, narrowed down on the '-q' (quiet) option.

pkg_rmleaves uses "pkg delete -q -y <pkg>"

"pkg delete <pkg>" works, of course.

"pkg delete -y <pkg>" works.

"pkg delete -q <pkg>" and "pkg delete -q -y <pkg>" don't work...though its spends some time.  "pkg delete -qn <pkg>" works.

....

Looks like query_yesno() is the only way that rc can become true, and its skipped if quiet is set.

If query_yesno() were called, it understands quiet...to return 'yes or default'...
