That is how the ports tree works for eons, and that can't be fixed until we can totally get rid if pkg_install (to many corner egdes) pkg_install to work properly needs to track fully direct and indirect dependencies, pkg does not, but because the ports tree still need to be compatible with pkg_install and lots of people are still using all habits from the pkg_install time, it is very hard to remove this right now.) But yes for sure this "feature" will get removed :)) regards, Bapt
