Hello,
First the comment: I've also noticed that checking for out-of-date
packages now takes 3 to 5 times longer than it used to. I've never used
an INDEX before, as it didn't seem to offer me anything I needed/wanted.
Is it considered (almost) a requirement now?
Second, how do I delete a single package that has dependencies without
deleting the dependencies? For example, UPDATING says
libevent1 has been replaced by libevent2 via the compatibility layer.
All applications that used libevent1 must be rebuilt.
Please remove libevent1 before upgrading, by running:
pkg delete libevent
If I try 'pkg delete libevent', pkg wants to delete no only libevent but
every other package that requires libevent. It's as if the recursive
flag is now on by default and I can't find any way to turn it off. 'pkg
help delete' doesn't offer anything.
I don't have a pkg.conf file installed anywhere (that I can find, anyway).
Thanks,
--
