Another example over which I'm currently stuck:
# pkg install mailman (or, same with: pkg upgrade)
The following 3 packages will be affected (of 0 checked):
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
postfix-current-2.12.20140709_2,4
New packages to be INSTALLED:
postfix: 2.11.1_4,1
Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
mailman: 2.1.18.1_1 -> 2.1.18.1_3
I don't want the postfix-current to be removed. Mailman is perfectly
capable of working with it and does not need postfix: 2.11.1.
Even if I follow this path: remove postfix-current, install mailman
and let it install postfix: 2.11.1, then try to remove postfix: 2.11.1
and install postfix-current - it tries to deinstall mailman.
