Bug ID: 199745
Summary: pkg removes erroneously half of the ports....
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I tried to install abcde via the pkg system and it erroneously tagged most of
the X related ports to be needed to be removed. Is that because of the missing
dependency?
[~] edwin@t61>sudo pkg install abcde

Proceed with this action? [y/N]:
the above, dependancy list wise, means:
your package needs newer Xlibs but only a few
However to use only those few newer Xlibs you need to upgrade the rest
of X, of course.
your choices are:
1) don't use it, find something less needy
2) compile options. disable the feature which requires X and or hack
out need of newer libs in code. code may not even use newer depends.
3) upgrade X, again
it's very annoying to have to upgrade a whole system for the need of a
single app. it's not X's design that's at fault, its the lack of planning.
meaning: sure people should extend what code is available while running
X so that apps can use it. but that NEVER means that apps not using
said code should all have to be upgraded. it should be additional.
if you look back on X (which is actually far from being the worst player
in the forced upgrade game). you see there have been many forced
upgrades (oh about 7). but the code many apps used has hardly changed !
and there's a problem. why should apps that havent changed, asking for
features that haven't changed break?
and what would be the penalty for NOT breaking apps. very little.
