Why do you want to uninstall base system software? I don't think that's advisable. You could probably omit the software you don't want when building the world before installing it.

>pkg_delete
That's only for older systems, pkgng uses a whitespace to separate sub commands like this "pkg delete"

i'm using OpenNTPD, so want to uninstall base ntpd

using LibreSSL, want to uninstall OpenSSL

You might want to ask on their mailing list or forums, I've never had to replace anything in the base myself, the ports I use give me the option to use what's in the base or an external port if I desire that, same with services, if I don't use a base system service I just don't enable it and do enable the external package.

Why not just juse openBSD while you are at it

OpenBSD is awesome, but it doesn't run on my hardware (Raspberry Pi)

I think base software can't be uninstalled, unless you recompile base. You can to do that in OpenBSD, at least.

You'd run into the same problem in Linux.
