pkg is not doing what I want.....

[Willem Jan Withagen]

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate as much as I can to using poudriere/pkg, but once 
in a while it just tries to put me in a corner where I do not want to be.

Below is a attempt to remove perl from a php5 only jail.
If I'd accept this, I'd be removing just about everything from that 
jail, leaving it useless.

Whereas I almost certain that perl is only used for the autoconf and 
automake stuff, which is used by just about everything.
So it is impossible to upgrade perl, because the "buildtime" 
dependancies require me to upgrae everything.

But then adding new php5 stuff also runs into the same trap.

So how do I remove perl, and maybe the runtime dependancies like p5-* 
and stuff, without pkg trashing everything??
