It should always be listed that it will be removed but in my experience it does not state 'why'. Usually it is the result of dependency updates need a new version of the package and the new version isn't in the repository; to complete the update of what is installed and in the repository, the package will be removed instead of left installed+broken. I do wish it said why and I also wish there was a way to say to perform upgrades but not upgrade things if they relate to a specified port; locking the port that would be removed would leave it, but also would still permit its dependencies to upgrade even if the locked port broke last I tested it. > Or maybe I've misunderstood what you tried to convey. > > > (*) for example the port itself could be broken, a dependency could have > been broken, or the builder could have simply had an hiccup.
