Solved pkg autoremove weird behaviour

P

piggy

After rebuilding all the ports in the system (to follow the system upgrade to version 11.2-RELEASE), i did the

Code: 
pkg autoremove

command.

With my surprise, together with not needed dependencies, it proposed the complete removal of all the KDE-18.x.x.x compilation packages survived to the Plasma upgrade to version 5.

Now this programs are perfectly fine and also usefull to me.

Is this the normal pkg autoremove behaviour or there is something wrong with it?

Unlikely, FreeBSD 12.0 hasn't been released yet, so 12-RELEASE doesn't exist.

At this time there's only 12-CURRENT, which isn't a supported version. It is currently being prepared for release and the actual release is scheduled for 2 November. Support for it will probably start around 21 September, when stable/12 is created and the first BETA is released.

I'm sorry, yes, it was 11.2-RELEASE upgrading from 11.2-RELEASE, my mistake.

I do confirm the pkg problem explained above.

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]:
 
At quick glance these all appear to be dependencies of x11/kde5. If you have removed this meta port all its dependencies would get removed with a pkg-autoremove(8) because they've all been automatically installed and there's nothing else depending on them anymore.
 
thankx for your reply. No, KDE5 is there and work pretty fine, like those packages pkg autoremove pretend to remove. Is there something wrong with pkg?
 
Thank you. The problem was exactly that. No x11/kde5 installed. Simply quickly installing that port solved the problem and now my pkg autoremove look reasonable:
