Solved remove/install loop with tcl86 pkg

Hi. When I do # pkg autoremove, it removes lang/tcl86 and after # pkg upgrade, it tries to install it again. I did # pkg check -ad but it seems like it's not required. It's not a big problem for me but I'd like to know why that loop happens. Thanks.

Code: 
# pkg autoremove

There's something wrong with your pkg(8) configuration too, /usr/ports/packages is not a repository.

Actually /usr/ports/packages is mentioned as a repository in the pkg-repo(8) manual, under EXAMPLES:

Code: 
     Create a repository and sign it with a local RSA key.  The public key
     would be shared on all client servers with SIGNATURE_TYPE set to PUBKEY
     and its path set via PUBKEY setting in the repository configuration file:

           pkg repo /usr/ports/packages repo.key

Probably nxjoseph has a package repository configured, but the repository files are missing.
 
Something is pulling it in as a dependency, but it appears to be incorrectly registered, removing it doesn't remove whatever depended on it, and pkg-check(8) also claims there's nothing depending on it. That makes it rather difficult to track down the culprit.

Yeah, this might be it.

It threw some "no such file or directory" errors but I can't find lang/tcl86 between errors.

EDIT: I tried disabling "Signal" repository which i was using to install net-im/signal-desktop and there are no more remove/install loop happening with lang/tcl86. I don't need to use "Signal" repository because I don't use Signal anymore but i am keen on why that loop happened when the package is available in both enabled repositories. Installing lang/tcl86 from the "Signal" repository didn't cause a remove/install loop.

Code: 
root@hale /home/yusuf # pkg search -r FreeBSD tcl86
tcl86-8.6.14_2                 Tool Command Language
tcl86-sql-20000114_8           TCL module for accessing MySQL databases
root@hale /home/yusuf # pkg search -r Signal tcl86
tcl86-8.6.14_2                 Tool Command Language
root@hale /home/yusuf # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Signal.conf
Signal: {
        url: "https://cocyte.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/signal-desktop/141amd64-signal-default/"
        enabled: yes
}

EDIT 2: I did remove packages installed from Signal repository and did install required ones from FreeBSD repository, now everything do seem fine.

Code: 
root@hale /home/yusuf # pkg query -a '%R %o' | sort | grep -E 'unknown|DE|Signal'
