I tried "pkg install autoconf", figuring autoconf was broken. Now pkg wants to remove approx 50 packages, some quite crucial, just to install autoconf. WTF? Why can't I just install autoconf? Linux package management is SO much easier. Thanks, Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
