Hello,
according to pkg-install(8):
-R, --recursive
When used with -f, reinstalls any packages that
require the given package.
But I get this:
# pkg info -r openssl
openssl-1.0.2k,1:
libarchive-3.2.2,1
python27-2.7.13_1
wget-1.18_2
apr-1.5.2.1.5.4_2
python36-3.6.0
[...]
# pkg install -fR openssl
[...]
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
openssl-1.0.2k,1
Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1
Why does -fR not reinstall all dependent packages?
Thanks,
--
Christian
