Similarly, removing qt5-declarative shows POST-DEINSTALL script failed as well. Actually all of the Qt5 packages do this. I guess it's a recent(ish) change to pkg to print the failure message.

The post-deinstall script looks like this (extracted from the pkg database):

```
#!/bin/sh
qi="/usr/local/include/qt5"
qc="$qi/QtCore/qconfig-modules.h"
qm="declarative-test"
case $2 in
POST-DEINSTALL)
[ \! -e "$qc" ] && touch "$qc"
sed  "/qconfig-$qm\.h/ d" "$qc"
[ \! -e "$qi/QtCore/qconfig.h" ] && \
[ \! -s "$qc" ] && (
rm -f "$qc"
rmdir "$qi/QtCore"
rmdir "$qi"
) > /dev/null 2>&1
;;
esac
```

What's going "wrong" is after the sed, it checks if QtCore/qconfig.h no-longer-exists. It does, so `[ ! -e "$qi/QtCore/qconfig.h" ]` is false; that pipeline exits with a non-zero code. There's nothing **after** that pipeline to reset the exit code, and so the result of the whole script is non-zero -- and pkg prints a failure.

(I see now that Jakub's original message already points to "all the Qt5 packages" and I only noticed the message in 47/47 for declarative test) Fixed in 613a0476fffb84ebab668d4737575c1280024b2e although I didn't bump any packages. The post-deinstall message is harmless (for the qt5 packages anyway).
