When installing a Perl-script from package database several packages were deleted that was not related to it. One of them were fwknopd that was running at the time of the installation and that I had to manually install again to not get locked out from the remote machine. The pkg job numbers [1/10], [2/10], ... is not logical (to me, anyway). [root@fbsd4:~]# pkg install mysqltuner Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

I'm working with a user, and suggested he use my package, and saw similar. Sorry Larry, never used poudriere. But I used my browser to download boinc-client-7.8.6_2.txz from your repository. Then I did pkg install -n /usr/home/stthu/Downloads/boinc-client-7.8.6_2.txz to see what will happen.

One possible cause may be that 'pkg' is sensitive to kernel versions (uname -K). I have seen the behaviour on more than one 12-CURRENT, where server is version 1200054 and an updated pkg is compiled on 1200056, that packages with same package version as in repository get on the list of 'to be REMOVED'. After reinstalling these packages (with same version numbers) all is OK. When trying to force an update of package database this is what shows up: # pkg update -f Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... Fetching meta.txz: 100% 944 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 5 MiB 2.4MB/s 00:02 Processing entries: 0% pkg: Newer FreeBSD version for package desktop-file-utils: - package: 1200056 - running kernel: 1200054 pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:12:aarch64 Processing entries: 100% Unable to update repository FreeBSD Error updating repositories! My conclusion: Keep up with new kernel versions. (And 'pkg upgrade -f' after OS upgrade)
(In reply to pru13allan from comment #2) I don't think kernel version changes are the only issue with the described symptom, and I don't think the proposed solution "Keep up with new kernel versions" is an acceptable resolution to the problem. If pkg arrives in the scenario where a 'pkg install' wants to remove installed packages, it should produce an error message and abort. Full stop. If the resulting action isn't insane, the user can remove the mentioned conflicting packages if it makes sense, and then re-run the 'pkg install'. If the resulting action would have been insane, the user is prevented from shooting themselves in the foot.
(In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #3) My conclusion is not working for everyone. Sorry about that. It is always a risk of having version problems on a fast evolving OS. I now start from scratch after source update to minimize most of these problems. But you are absolutly right about that pkg install should stop and not remove packages that dont match current kernel version. One way to do it is to put them in 'to be REINSTALLED' if possible.
Yep, I would find reinstalled or upgraded much more acceptable than removed.
