pkg upgrade/install <package> doesn't upgrade deps (even pkg install did with 1.2.x...)

[nox42]

I did a poudriere bulk -c to build (among other things) multimedia/mpv for a 9.2 box that has somewhat older packages; pkg install mpv there then only upgraded mpv itself even tho at least libdvdread needed to be upgraded as well (shilib bump) - i was told this is because 1.3.6 no longer cares about shlib versions and to try pkg upgrade instead of pkg install - but that also didn't upgrade libdvdread. I'm told this is a bug, and I agree. :)

I have this case on my system now. I have an older apr installed. Installing apache24 does not propose to upgrade apr. Once apache is installed it is missing several apr libraries.

I just installed 1.2 and it does not automatically handle this situation. It does not upgrade apr when I try to install apache24. It could be due to the remote not having proper shlib versions, but I doubt it.

I will build my own repo with fixed shlibs and see if it makes a difference.

I do agree this is a defect that should be fixed though. Just as pkg delete was fixed to be recursive to keep a consistent system, pkg install needs to consider what else is needed to have a working package installed.

I ran into this today with 1.3.8:

# pkg install -f subversion openssl nginx

This is still an issue with pkg version 1.3.8_3. I switched a system that was using my own package repository to use the official packages. My own packages were built with OPTIONS_UNSET=X11. After doing 'pkg update -f', 'pkg install -f vim' the editors/vim package was installed but none of the new dependencies including a whole bunch of X11 libraries were not installed resulting in a broken installation. Only when I reinstalled another package by force, devel/pcre, the missing dependencies were detected and pkg prompted me to install them.

I've had the same issues and posted about it here: http://markmail.org/message/anqqpncruvgwz53m

This is a pretty serious bug for us since it doesn't have a simple workaround other than always upgrading every installed package on a system at the same time, or manually trawling through all the dependencies.

yep, same here with 1.4.0
