which pkgin version are you using?
This is pkgin-0.6.4nb7 from Joyent's SmartOS distribution.
@L2G pkgin 0.8.0 is going to be available as soon as pkgsrc-2015Q1 is announced, it should fix this kind of issue. If your matter is urgent, you can fetch latest pkgin version from github or pkgsrc HEAD.
@iMilnb No urgency; I just wanted to make sure it was known. Thanks!
Let's say there is a package,
git-base
, that depends on another package,curl
. I've installed them like so:Later I want to remove just
curl
, but it doesn't occur to me thatgit-base
is depending on it, so in a hurry I do this:Both have been removed, which on one hand makes sense. But they were also both marked as non-auto-removable. Since I only named
curl
on the command line, it seems like the right thing to do would have been to halt with an error when pkgin came to uninstallgit-base
and saw that it was marked.
