Installed mariadb106-server (via `pkg install mariadb106-server`) last night and it "suggested" to install "databases/mytop" as it was not (or no longer) included. Went ahead and installed it (`pkg install mytop`) but the install procedure ended up removing mariadb106-server. On top of that, it installed half a dozen things such as openldap-client and cyrus which I am not sure if that is really needed. Neither of these are direct dependencies of mytop in ports and I have to admit I didn't trace them either. The requirements[1] list a few perl packages (off of cpan) and while I am sure it can somehow utilise all the other it seems way over the top for a basic install. I guess the actual culprit for uninstalling mariadb106-server is p5-DBD-mysql[2], as it seems to require mysql57-client. IMHO, that's fine (I guess), but if that is the case, mytop shouldn't be mentioned in the post-install. 1: https://metacpan.org/release/JZAWODNY/mytop-0.9/view/mytop#REQUIREMENTS 2: https://www.freshports.org/databases/p5-DBD-mysql/
Created attachment 236858 [details] typescript summary of installations on 13.1-RELEASE-p2 (In reply to Till Klampaeckel from comment #0) Which version of FreeBSD, exactly? Packages from latest, or quarterly? Attached: quarterly on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2, pkg install databases/mytop – did not result in any removal.
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #1) > Attached: … Please ignore that. From within the file: > pkg install --quiet mariadb106-server I assumed, wrongly, that it would quietly install. It did not.
