Hi,

I had to install via pkg a Python module that won't compile. I know it's Bad to mix ports and packages, but it doesn't compile for an unknown reason, and I need it.

When I do

pkg install devel/py-platformdirs

It says

New packages to be INSTALLED:
perl5.30: 5.30.3_1
py38-platformdirs: 2.3.0

[...]
=====
Message from perl5.30-5.30.3_1:
[...]

===>   NOTICE:

This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:

Why does pkg insist to install an old, outdated version of perl (I have an up-to-date perl already) ?

Please consider updating perl in Packages (latest is afaik 5.34)

Regards

Xavier
