https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194146 Bug ID: 194146 Summary: pkg installs random packages Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Infrastructure Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: theraven@FreeBSD.org Running a pkg upgrade, I see this: New packages to be INSTALLED: bootstrap-openjdk: r351880 [FreeBSD_new_xorg] java-zoneinfo: 2014.f [FreeBSD_new_xorg] It seemed odd - these packages look like things that are build dependencies only. I have to let it install them to proceed though, so I do. For some sanity checking, I try this immediately after: # pkg autoremove Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) Deinstallation has been requested for the following 2 packages: Installed packages to be REMOVED: bootstrap-openjdk-r351880 java-zoneinfo-2014.f The operation will free 101 MB. So, pkg has installed packages that *it knows are redundant*. These packages are marked as being installed purely to satisfy a dependency, but nothing I have installed depends on them, so why were they installed? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
