Description Ben Woods freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-13 05:19:10 UTC 
The pkg-delete(8) man page currently states:
"If the set of packages to be deleted would leave installed packages with unfulfilled dependencies, pkg delete will emit an error message and quit without deleting anything unless forced to proceed by the -f option."

This is no longer the case with the new solver. The behaviour of pkg-delete(8) has now changed to automatically recommend removing the leftover packages that would otherwise have unfulfilled dependencies.

The pkg-delete(8) man page needs to be updated to reflect this change in behaviour.
