Packages are built using default options and some package you installed defaults to MySQL. Many ports are installed with GUIs by default, so packages are as well. Some ports have nox11 versions but many do not. This is a limitation to most (all?) packaging systems, not just the one FreeBSD uses. The only way I know around this is to build your own packages for those using non-default options. The preferred way is to build them with port-mgmt/poudrerie though you can also build them manually or with portmaster but, for most cases, poudriere is easier. This is all described in the Handbook. Only ports with modified options need be built locally and the standard packages should be used for all standard ports. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Sat, Nov 2, 2019 at 12:37 PM @lbutlr <kremels@kreme.com> wrote: > I have mariadb101 (client and server) installed, but when looking at what > pkg update will do, one of the things it will do is install MySQL.
