pkg 2.6.0 is reported to be broken.
lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev

`pkg lock ports-mgmt/pkg` is adviced until the issue is addressed.
I've done so as I've noticed the post at the time just pulling updates into my local ports repo.

Acccording to this another report, logic for deletion seems to become too aggressive.

At least on previous version 2.5.1, it can forcibly delete specific pkg only with "-f" option.
But the behavior mentioned in above report suggests that possibly deletions are done for anything depending on the pkg to be deleted, too.

Anyway, users of quarterly wouldn't be affected, as pkg 2.6.0 is not yet merged into 2026Q1.
