WTF?

  I (thrice)  1) tried the command earlier and got that message, and  
2) more recently correctly copied the error message when I ran it,  
and  3) now tried  pkgutil --forget R-Framework.pkg. Warnes said it  
was dpkgutil (or pkgutil), you say it is pkgutil. All three have  
unfavorable results. Screen-scrapes of the last two attached:
