Solved pkg autoremove does not do its job

[bileslav]

Please, what am I missing here?

root@theos ~# pkg set -A 1 vscode
Mark vscode-1.95.3 as automatically installed? [y/N]: y
root@theos ~# pkg autoremove
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Nothing to do.
root@theos ~# pkg info --locked vscode
vscode-1.95.3                  no
root@theos ~# pkg info --required-by vscode
vscode-1.95.3:
root@theos ~# pkg prime-list | grep vscode
root@theos ~# pkg leaf | grep vscode
vscode-1.95.3

It can be deleted manually just fine:

root@theos ~# pkg delete vscode

VladiBG, nope:

Looks like I should file a bug report.

what is the output of
pkg info -r vscode

 

[bileslav]

what is the output of
pkg info -r vscode

This command output is included in the OP. The package is not required by anything.

it should be removed if no other pkg depends on it.

hasbeen, you forgot to do pkg set -A 1 vscode. Anyway, this thread can be discontinued, I'll mark it as solved, since the problem is either on the pkg side or on the vscode (Makefile) side. Details:

Hmm, I see only this very recent change, ports: 4b05da0715fc9e6453edb5039b5ae7d99f7ae262, 2024-11-30 14:44:06 +0000; containing:

On my 14.1-RELEASE I'am still seeing 1.95.3; the portrevision of only a few hours old not being incorporated in its package, as to be expected.

However, looks like solved; the other changes (pulling in lots of stuff) probably had the desired effect, as I don't have the error:

Erichans, have you read the answers in the issue? As I understand from them, you need to have some conflict among your packages for the problem to appear. While this is unlikely, perhaps you don't have vulkan-loader installed?
