Bug 220049: ports-mgmt/pkg installs unneeded packages
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220049



--- Description ---
Sometimes (very often in my case with about 20 machines) "pkg install" or "pkg
upgrade" installed some packages which were not needed and running "pkg
autoremove" imediately after previsou upgrade / install command just uninstall
those packages.

This is simple example from today. I just need to install "pgtop", along with
dependencies "libnghttp2" were also installed:

Similar issue was encountered on last "pkg upgrade" on almost all our machines
where "libarchive" was installed and immediately deleted by "pkg autoremove".

We are using own Poudriere repo, FreeBSD 10.3, pkg 1.10.1

Let me know how can I debug this issue and I will provide more details.
