Hi,
I just started using FreeBSD 13.2 for a personal storage server. I had this extremely surprising interaction with pkg today:
nsood@silicon:~ % sudo pkg install rclone

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf if it is no longer needed.
It's definitely on me to have not read the message carefully before saying yes, but also extremely unintuitive that installing rclone, presumably an unrelated package, caused mysql80-server to be uninstalled. Reinstalling mysql80-server worked fine, and did not remove rclone, so it wasn't a package conflict. Thankfully the mysqld process in memory kept running while I reinstalled the package so I did not experience any downtime, but I would still like to avoid a heart attack in the future. So can someone explained what I did wrong here that caused mysql80-server to be uninstalled?
Thanks,
Naman.
