https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225361 --- Comment #3 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to pru13allan from comment #2) I don't think kernel version changes are the only issue with the described symptom, and I don't think the proposed solution "Keep up with new kernel versions" is an acceptable resolution to the problem. If pkg arrives in the scenario where a 'pkg install' wants to remove instal= led packages, it should produce an error message and abort. Full stop. If the resulting action isn't insane, the user can remove the mentioned conflicting packages if it makes sense, and then re-run the 'pkg install'. = If the resulting action would have been insane, the user is prevented from shooting themselves in the foot. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
