Using package manager for the goal it was designed - is misuse?.. > More than the hint, here, will be futile; that's what. > > The "So what?" attitude is not incentive to share further > information. The symptom has been discussed elsewhere. The "elsewhere" is not proper user documentation. But suppose this strange logic is correct. Then: 1) Why, at all, pkg allows such misuse in critical situations 2) Can you provide analog of such "misuse" for freebsd-update? No? That's because it is designed in a way preventing such misuse. -- WBR, @nuclight
