On a machine, pkg install xorg-server.
It wants to install the 1G llvm40
downloads... errors out.  Reboot
....................
boot up
use tty1 rather than tty0
pkg install xorg-server
AGAIN downloads the metadata.
starts to AGAIN download llvm40, I cntl-C it.
I add 'pkg add ' the llvm40 that is ALREADY in /var/cache/pkg
Now pkg install xorg-server runs again, but RE downloading the smaller [...=
 xorg-server ]
.................
It lists the packages it is going to download.
Then, not in the new install... upgrade... reinstall... Y/N? ... it starts
downloading seamonkey!   I only asked it to 'install xorg-server!'
.....................
I think some more huge transparency [ pkg tells us in a verbose way what it
is doing, and why, and eventually have fine grained menu control before an
action... so that one can begin to make more sense of a post like this=20
>> eventual bugzilla if need be.
......................
Just curious more than anything this time, though...=20
.....................
Sounds like did not happen, but did.   Sorry...=20
[ by the way on the desktop, if I build from ports it is v11, but if I use =
pkg, it is v12. ]=20
So I build from ports, all is good, but next pkg [week] it wants to upgrade=
 a port
from v11 to v12.  too many places to look, I don't see that setting [v11 on=
 a v12 machine]
anywhere.    12.0-CURRENT by the way...
