--- Comment #5 from Joseph Mingrone <jrm at freebsd.org> ---
Adding pkg@ because I am unclear if it is expected behavior for `pkg install R`
to ignore the missing libreadline.so.8 library dependency.  I would have
guessed that pkg would either complain or try to upgrade the readline package
to version 8.0.0.

A summary of the problem:

- Start with an older version of the readline package installed, version 7.0.5.
- `pkg install R`, which requires the shared library libreadline.so.8
- Installing R does not complain or try to upgrade the readline package
- R fails to run
