My systems have the public FreeBSD pkg repo disabled and instead install from a local repo built using poudriere. The current repo, built from branch 2019Q3 r506787, doesn't have a python27 pkg in it because everything uses python36. On a few systems (e.g., the poudriere build server), I must have the stock FreeBSD repo enabled. There, pkg insists on installing python27 from the FreeBSD repo. If I run pkg-autoremove afterward, it gets deleted, yielding an endless loop of pkg-upgrade insisting python27 needs to be installed, and pkg-autoremove insisting it doesn't. The usual incantation of: # pkg clean -a # pkg update -f # pkg upgrade -f didn't fix it. Why is pkg insisting I have python27 installed?
