script(1) output of needing to install twice

On a clean install of FreeBSD 10.3, when installing ImageMagick7 via pkg(1) it is necessary to run `pkg install ImageMagick7` twice in order to actually install it.  The first time only the dependancies are installed, the second time only ImageMagick7 is installed.

I haven't noticed this with other packages, so presume it is not an issue with pkg(1) - I am running pkg v1.8.5.

This was brought to my attention via this question on StackExchange:

Hm indeed. In my case it says 104 packages will be affected, but after the fetch stage it installs 22. The second run of 'pkg install imagemagick7' installs 79 packages. The third run installs ImageMagick7.

CC'ing pkg@ as this looks like a pkg problem to me.

The reason it has happened is probably you have no run pkg upgrade before install imagemagick7

You may also have things installed that were conflicts with it and then the solver tries to handle that conflict.

In next pkg release the conflicts will be explicitly shown to the users

actually the bug is on pkg side, working on a fix

Adjusting summary to reflect the problem properly. Maintainer feedback given for pkg, reassigning to Baptiste, kwm@ in CC.

Thanks! :)
