[Bug 295353] ports-mgmt/pkg: does not show a dependency for a package, but removing it wants to remove many others; autoremove trying to remove a manually installed package

Thanks. That helps check my thinking was
on track. Isolating the more relevant
parts:

# pkg info -d libinput-1.31.1
libinput-1.31.1:
        . . .
        gtk3-3.24.52
        . . .
        gtk4-4.20.4 (libgtk-4.so.1)
        . . .

# pkg info -r gtk3-3.24.52
gtk3-3.24.52:
        libinput-1.31.1
        . . .
        libdecor-0.2.5 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        wx30-gtk3-3.0.5.1_7 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        gtkspell3-3.0.10_2 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        osm-gps-map-1.1.0_2 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        libcanberra-gtk3-0.30_11 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        easytag-2.4.3_13 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        qt6-base-6.10.2_1 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        webkit2-gtk_40-2.46.6_7 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        webkit2-gtk_41-2.46.6_7 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        etherape-0.9.22 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        wx32-gtk3-3.2.8.1_1 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        plasma6-kde-gtk-config-6.6.5 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        kicad-10.0.3,2 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        firefox-151.0_1,2 (libgtk-3.so.0)
        thunderbird-151.0_1 (libgtk-3.so.0)

So missing above vs. the intent was:

        libinput-1.31.1 (libgtk-3.so.0)

But the direct/explicit dependency was in
in the Makefile.

# pkg info -r gtk4-4.20.4
gtk4-4.20.4:
        . . .
        libinput-1.31.1 (libgtk-4.so.1)

which should have been missing. (And there
was no direct/explicit makefile created
dependency of libinput on gtk4.)

pkg info is definitely the right tool for
the specific purpose.


"pkg info -r libinput-1.31.1" would have shown
more about what pkg delete gtk4-4.20.4 would
have deleted. (I'm not asking for that.)

Thanks again. Hopefully if I see such an issue
again in the future, I'll understand it faster
then.
