I'm planning on putting a "FreeBSD-base" repository configuration into /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf in 15. It will be disabled by default, in order
to avoid "pkg delete -af" problems, but "pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base"
should work out of the box.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290344#c6
has examples showing that this does not work (main 16 test
context, which I forgot to mention there). It is based on
just using -a (not -f, not -y) and seeing if any FreeBSD-*
are referenced in the output: there are such involved.
One of the examples has pkg locked. That does prevent any
deletion of anything.
With pkg unlocked things were odder but it asked about if
FreeBSD-libvmmapi-dev should be removed from the request.
The examples have the commands and the outputs. That is
one reason that I reference my comment instead of other
reports that are around. I'm not the first to report on
the issue.
This is separate from my earlier reports that:
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
does not "work out of the box" when FreeBSD-base is
disabled. Even "pkg update -r FreeBSD-base" does not
work for that =kind of context.
