"pkg upgrade" is trying to install phantom dependencies

[Victor Sudakov]

The same problem, a different view. Please see output below.
Who installed gettext and why? It's not required by any package:

[root at ftp ~] pkg upgrade -y
Updating repository catalogue
Upgrades have been requested for the following 5 packages:

        Installing gettext: 0.18.3.1_1 [sibptus]
        Upgrading py27-subversion: 1.8.8_2 -> 1.8.9 [sibptus]
        Upgrading sqlite3: 3.8.4.2 -> 3.8.4.3 [sibptus]
        Upgrading subversion: 1.8.8_2 -> 1.8.9 [sibptus]
        Upgrading vim-lite: 7.4.265 -> 7.4.281 [FreeBSD]

The upgrade will require 9 MB more space

Why does pkg bother to install gettext at all?
