            Bug ID: 252055
           Summary: pkg-clean is emptying cache directory
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

"pkg clean" is removing everything from the cache directory.

"pkg clean" (without any option/argument) removes packages that have been
superseded by newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.
Moreover, in order to remove all the packages from the cache, "pkg clean -a" is
used. However, it is observed that even without giving an "-a" option, "pkg
clean" is deleting all cached packages including those, which have not been
superseded by newer versions yet and are still in use.
