Re: PKGBASE Removes FreeBSD Base System Feature

> No, it has the same behaviour.

English is not my primary language so I will try to explain in more simple words as you probably did not understood.

NOPE.

It DOES NOT has the same behavior.

Situation A.

A.1. You have FreeBSD 15-CURRENT installed in 'classic' way.
A.2. You issue this command: # pkg delete -af
A.3. All Third Party packages are deleted from your system.
A.4. You FreeBSD 15-CURRENT Base System remain UNTOUCHED.

Situation B.

B.1. You have FreeBSD 15-CURRENT installed in 'PKGBSD' way.
B.2. You issue this command: # pkg delete -af
B.3. All Third Party packages are deleted from your system.
B.4. You FreeBSD 15-CURRENT Base System is REMOVED with only 2/290 packages UNTOUCHED

DIFFERENTLY with PKGBASE and without PKGBASE on the same FreeBSD version
system - that is the center of the problem.
