Forced re-install with 'pkg install -f' is no longer working, you only get a message that "The most recent version of packages are already installed"

pkg install -f vimpager-1.8.9

I have the same issue. I am using poudriere to compile my ports on another server, and using that repo to install from. I have no other repos configured. I saw several people mention that this was an issue for them as well in #freebsd on freenode. I'll note that 'pkg install -Rf packagename' also gives me the same result as 'pkg install -f packagename'.

pkg install -f is fixed for 1.3.6 but not -R. Logged that in #926

In the meantime, try using 'upgrade' instead of 'install', that actually forces are reinstall of almost everything for me.
