Is there a way to reinstall a package that is already installed on the 
image through pkg? I took a look at pkg(1) man page and I don't get any 
clue there.

Also is there a pkg feature plan to fix verification errors that pkg 
found? Looks like from most of the error messages that pkg reported, pkg 
can act upon and fix them.
