https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297279 Bug ID: 297279 Summary: graphics/drm-kmod: pkg upgrade should not try to install an earlier version Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ziaee@FreeBSD.org Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Setup: I have drm-612 on stable/15, using the latest pkg repos, which do not have drm-612 yet [0]. Problem: Running pkg upgrade, pkg tries to rip out drm-612 and install drm-66. Consequence: 1. This rewinds graphics drivers by a full year, and on some machines this will make them generally unusable, so pkg should never try to downgrade drm-kmod. 2. If downgrading drm-kmod is not an option due to e.g. drm-612 contains critical bugfixes, then this makes pkg upgrade without args unusable, leading to massively increased user intervention for maintenance. The operator would need to manually pkg upgrade $pkg for every pkg leaf that needs upgraded, or some other cumbersome workaround to keep their packages upgraded.
