Assume I don't mind, assume a test system that can and will be wiped
anyway.
( And assume a port which takes longer then 5 seconds to compile ... )
*How* can I force this?
I've pkg-locked mysql56-client.
Now ``pkg install py27-MySQLdb'' exits with
mysql56-client-5.6.20 is locked and may not be modified
if I add
-M, --ignore-missing
Force the installation of the package with missing
dependen-
cies.
to the pkg command, the result is the same
mysql56-client-5.6.20 is locked and may not be modified
So it seems to me I can't force the package to install,
because the dependency "mysql55-client" is not "missing"
but "uninstallable".
