Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-pkg (Nobody) <pkg@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 260582: ports-mgmt/pkg: spurious self-reinstallation on conflict? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D260582 --- Description --- Hello, I'm attempting to switch from ports to prebuilt packages. While chasing around bug 260581, I've been switching between mail/postfix flavours. Each time I do, I find, e.g.:: :root@alyzon: pkg install postfix-ldap Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking integrity... done (1 conflicting) - postfix-ldap-3.6.3,1 [FreeBSD] conflicts with postfix-sasl-3.6.3,1 [installed] on /usr/local/bin/mailq Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked): Installed packages to be REMOVED: postfix-sasl: 3.6.3,1 New packages to be INSTALLED: postfix-ldap: 3.6.3,1 [FreeBSD] Installed packages to be REINSTALLED: pkg-1.17.5 [FreeBSD] Number of packages to be removed: 1 Number of packages to be installed: 1 Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1 Proceed with this action? [y/N]:=20 Why is ports-mgmt/pkg trying to inexplicably (inasmuch as it does not expla= in why it is affected by this transaction; compare, e.g., bug 195467) reinstall itself? ~jashank
