I tried version pkg-1.3.4 yesterday. When I used pkg install to install
a preexisting package which had lots of dependencies, I would get lines
like this:
package-y: 100%
package-y: 100%
package-y: 100%
This might be when installing package-x. That is, a dependency might be
listed up to three times, and in some cases even the base package would
never get listed. I was assuming that the code that printed which
package was being installed was sometimes getting it wrong. In one
case, when I was installing texlive-full, the package t1lib was listed
twice, but the second time it installed it went so slowly that it must
have been installing texlive-texmf.
Obviously this is only a cosmetic problem. But I am curious as to
whether people are aware of this issue.
BTW - I really like the real-time counter that tells you what percentage
of a package is installed or deinstalled.
Thanks, Stephen
