As an experiment, I set up my newest laptop to update only via
freebsd-update and installed only pre-built packages.  (I am far more
accustomed to building FreeBSD from source, as well as updating ports
either via portmaster or by buidling my own packages, so there's a
fairly high probability that I've rather lost the plot, here.)

Now, the laptop is set up to run xdm at start-up; it's very much an
"X11" setup.

And for reference, it's running:

FreeBSD g1-96.catwhisker.org 14.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE releng/14.2-=
n269506-c8918d6c7412 GENERIC amd64

And I run "pkg upgrade" on it every morning, to keep the packages
up-to-date.

A while back, I had decided that I wanted to use gimp, so I installed
that. (via "pkg install ...") without fuss.

This morning, I tried a script that I had cobbled up a while back (and
used on an older laptop) which makes use of ImageMagik's "convert"
utility -- and found that it wasn't installed on the newer laptop.

So:

| g1-96(14.2-R)[16] pkg install graphics/ImageMagick7

I don't get it.  Why would pkg want to be installing "-nox11"
versions of things?  Even to the point of wanting to remove perfectly
functional X11 versions of things that I want to be able to use?

Thanks for any clues.

Peace,
david
