Description andriys 2014-08-06 10:20:56 UTC 
pkg-install(8) manual says:

-f, --force
           Force the reinstallation of the package if already installed.

This does not work for me. If I trying to reinstall some package using

# pkg install -f <pkg-name>

I always get: "The most recent version of packages are already installed".

This is broken in at least the following pkg versions: 1.3.4, 1.3.5 and 1.3.5.1.

I cannot reproduce is it still happening for you?
