#FreeBSD pkg 2.6.0 is reported to be broken.
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-ports-main/2026-March/181408.html`pkg lock ports-mgmt/pkg` is adviced until the issue is addressed.
I've done so as I've noticed the post at the time just pulling updates into my local ports repo.Acccording to this another report, logic for deletion seems to become too aggressive.
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-ports-main/2026-March/181412.htmlAt least on previous version 2.5.1, it can forcibly delete specific pkg only with "-f" option.
But the behavior mentioned in above report suggests that possibly deletions are done for anything depending on the pkg to be deleted, too.Anyway, users of quarterly wouldn't be affected, as pkg 2.6.0 is not yet merged into 2026Q1.

@TomAoki it is not broken at all, please be careful in how you announce things, it had a regression that only affects portmaster users (and people doing make deinstall in ports) aka a minor part of the users! also to be fair with pkg developers semantically the right behavior of pkg delete -f would be to be recursive! It's not due to pkg_delete legacy, in the future we should introduce a new flag like pkg delete -f --ignore-rdeps and make the ports tree use it

@welshpixie @gunchleoc maybe they're using an AI "agent" to inflict maximum pain to the Fediverse, swarming it with bots and spam accounts...

Big news for wild animals! 🐆🧡
Costa Rica has made its 2012 sport hunting ban permanent — protecting wild animals and the ecosystems they depend on for generations to come.
Home to more than 5% of the world’s biodiversity, Costa Rica continues to show that conservation works. By choosing eco-tourism over exploitation, the country is supporting local communities, strengthening its economy, and safeguarding iconic species like jaguars and scarlet macaws.
