I don't delete! Otherwise, the integrity is violated. I don't give a damn about auto-deletion. I can't tell you why there is no logic between auto-deletion of the package and integrity either. But this is a fact on my PC.

This OpenJDK implementation may require procfs(5) mounted on /proc for some
applications.

If you have not done it yet, please do the following:

        mount -t procfs proc /proc

To make it permanent, you need the following lines in /etc/fstab:

pkg-autoremove(8) doesn't want to remove anything, and that's the correct action.

Code:

Nothing to do.

One explanation, you had, at one point, installed OpenJDK, and removed it some time later. java/java-zoneinfo was still installed. Then pkg-upgrade(8) upgraded everything that's installed, including java-zoneinfo. But as there's nothing depending on it any more and it was 'auto' installed the pkg-autoremove(8) removed it.

Stuff like this is why I alway run with -n and pkg info -r to avoid this.

'pkg upgrade' and 'java-zoneinfo' non-logic!?
