Data removing package.

i am in d process of buidling qmail on my freebsd. I am through except that i cannot run qmailctl effectively because i had a problem installing daemontools. i was unable to run this command line;

patch < /usr/local/src/netqmail−1.04/other−patches/daemontools−0.76.errno.patch

and i beleive thats becos the source i installed is qmail-1.03 not netqmail. So i couldnt find the full path above.
I went ahead to run package/install, but then my svscan will not run, even after rebooting.

So i want to remove the daemontools package. But i dont know what command line to run to do this.

I use freebsd 5.1

Hi,

To remove a package, use pkg_delete... try to find the exact name of daemontools and do "pkg_delete daemontools-0.1" ( for example ).
