Hello,

according to pkg-install(8):

     -R, --recursive
                When used with -f, reinstalls any packages that
                require the given package.


But I get this:

# pkg info -r openssl
openssl-1.0.2k,1:
        libarchive-3.2.2,1
        python27-2.7.13_1
        wget-1.18_2
        apr-1.5.2.1.5.4_2
        python36-3.6.0
[...]

# pkg install -fR openssl
[...]
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
        openssl-1.0.2k,1

Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1


Why does -fR not reinstall all dependent packages?

Thanks,
