Hi,
pkg wants to remove some package on upgrade. I do not understand why...

If I do this instead, it is doing what I expect the former command to do:

Any ideas why it wants to remove those packages in the first case?
I see similar behavior from time to time. Last time (a few days ago) pkg
wanted to uninstall about 30 packages when I tried to install Signal
Desktop (I tried to install another package without any dependencies,
but pkg behaves the same). I didn't have time to solve it, I just left
it alone. The second day (after reboot) everything worked normally and
pkg installed only Signal Desktop, no other dependencies/libraries were
affected.
And similarly, pkg during 'pkg upgrade' installed several packages,
which after completing 'pkg upgrade' again uninstalled by command 'pkg
autoremove' (I remember mate-desktop, which I don't use at all, I use
KDE Plasma) It was right before I tried to install Signal Desktop.
Kind regards
