The question you should be asking yourself is: Why do I try freebsd solutions to openbsd problems? If you start your quest at www.openbsd.org -> and from there read up on the FAQ and/or the manual pages (which do not contain FORCE_PKG_REGISTER) then you get an openbsd solution to what I hope is an openbsd problem. There is a whole chapter in the FAQ on ports/packages. Perhaps it contains your solution? [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
