I had this problem in the past too and it was not related to any
required dependencies. After pkg install finished the installation of
wanted package and unwanted unrelated packages next call to "pkg
autoremove" deinstalled those unwanted packages (it means nothing needs
them). But next pkg install put them back. This problem disappeared
after a few month after complete reinstall of all packages by pkg
upgrade -f (after system upgrade).
