"pkg upgrade samba44" upgrades samba44 but also installs compat6x-amd64. But using portmaster to upgrade from ports only upgrades samba44

If I allow pkg to install compat6x-amd64 then pkg info shows that it is not required by any package and I am able to delete it without any problem.

Comment 1 Mike Clarke 2017-07-17 17:00:04 UTC 
Looks like samba44 isn't relevant to this problem. I've now tried upgrading several different packages at random and pkg always tries to install compat6x-amd64
Comment 2 Michael Konieczny 2017-07-20 10:35:31 UTC 
I have exactly the same problem: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/61666/

But it doesn't affect all packages: for example, beadm upgraded via pkg upgrade without pulling compat6x in.
Comment 3 Jean-Sébastien Pédron freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-18 09:26:32 UTC 
I had the same problem. Following the suggestion from:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkg/2017-August/002237.html

... did fix the problem for me.

Here is what I did:

1. pkg check -ad

This told me `gutenprint-base` was missing libreadline.so.6

2. This package doesn't exist anymore in the ports tree. There is `gutenprint` and `gimp-gutenprint`. As I don't currently need it, I simply removed `gutenprint-base`.

Now, installing/upgrading packages doesn't pull compat6x-amd64 anymore.
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2019-08-15 04:23:13 UTC 
See comment3. I close here - not a bug.
