            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?
