Your initial understanding was correct: BUILD_DEPENDS is for software
required to build a package, but not necessary to be installed at
run-time. In my experience, it works exactly as described.
If devel/gitlab-shell is pulling in security/heimdal when you're
installing from a package repository, then something is clearly going
wrong. pkg(8) only records the run-time dependencies in the packages
it handles -- you can see those by `pkg info -d gitlab-shell`
If you're building the gitlab-shell package locally, then the
BUILD_DEPENDS packages will be installed as part of the build process,
but marked for `pkg autoremove` to delete.
ok, then something is here broken:
root@gitlab:/usr/local/www/gitlab-ce # pkg info -d gitlab-shell
gitlab-shell-14.18.0:
If I now try to remove heimdal:
root@gitlab:/usr/local/www/gitlab-ce # pkg delete heimdal
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 2 packages (of 0
packages in the universe):
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
gitlab-shell: 14.18.0
heimdal: 7.8.0_6
So for an unkown reason, heimdal is recorded as a dependency, even if it
should not.
Is this maybe a bug in pkg?
