I brought this up on irc, did not get a helpful answer. After upgrading a machine from 8.4 to 9.3, I went to upgrade ports/packages. Some need to be built from source as they use non-standard options but most should be installable directly with pkg install. Note that both pkg and pkg-devel exhibit the same problem. Some install just fine. Others do NASTY things. Here, I show that zip installs properly. But bash wants to delete TOTALLY UNRELATED things (why would bash want to delete mutt and apache?) http://www.wayne47.com/fbsd_issue.html I then did a pkg update -F which fetched the world, then wanted to reinstall everything (to which I said no) and the problem continues: http://www.wayne47.com/fbsd3.html It looks like, in part, pkg can not determine what files are installed: http://www.wayne47.com/fbsdbug.html Is there some way I can force pkg to install individual packages and not touch the unrelated things? This behaviour seems very flawed to me but the irc chat suggests I'm missing something. Guidance on how to proceed would be appreciated. Note, again, that I can not simply pkg update all ports as some must be built from source.
