On base main, dialog is no longer installed by default after commit
38981026e70390ccfb99930ec6d71299dd2af780 [1].
This causes ports-mgmt/pkg_rmleaves to stop working on console (ttyv*) or
terminal emulators like below.

     ===== Quote =====
# pkg_rmleaves
dialog not found.
     =====End quote =====

Not tried, but it would work with kdialog (option -k) or xdialog (option -x or
-X), but they seem to be GUI only.

Simply editing "DIALOG=dialog" line to "DIALOG=bsddialog" to make bsddialog as
default caused below and didn't work.

     ===== Quote =====
# pkg_rmleaves
Error: --ignore to continue.

See 'bsddialog --help' or 'man 1 bsddialog' for more information.
Dialog Error, try to resize your terminal to at least 80x24.
     ===== End quote =====

I'm not enough familiar with dialog/bsddialog and gave up here.
