More grief with pkg 2.1.4

My hate/hate relationship with pkg continues. Any suggestions on how to reduce the package count below from 123 to about 3 would be appreciated:
Code: 
[strand.184] #  freebsd-version -kru
13.5-RELEASE
13.5-RELEASE
13.5-RELEASE-p1

[strand.185] # pkg --version
2.1.4

[strand.186] # pkg delete cups-2.4.11_1

Number of packages to be removed: 123

The operation will free 3 GiB.

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]: n
 
That's about right. A lot of packages depend on cups. Do pkg info -r cups to list all the packages that depend on cups, directly. Now, for each of those packages do pkg info -r PKG_NAME to see what depends on the next group in the tree. The list will be large.

For instance, qt6-base depends on cups -- the CUPS option is default, just look in the Makefile yourself. All other qt6 packages and apps depend on qt6-base. So they are also are removed. And so on. 123 is a small list. And, almost everything depends on cups.

It's not pkg 2.1.4. It's the package dependencies.

BTW, I just installed pkg 2.2.0. Works fine here.
