Vital packages

grahamperrin

Two packages are reportedly vital. Neither one exists.

I have not yet looked, in detail, at typescript files from the upgrade sessions. For now, I might guess that the discrepancy is a consequence of an untimely interruption to an upgrade at ttyv1.

vimanuelt … FreeBSD PR …

Already done in GitHub, for some issues. (For clarity: issues, not pull requests.)

grahamperrin I have not yet looked, in detail,

The interruption, and the subsequent upgrade command:

[576/718] Extracting openjdk17-17.0.14+7.1: 100%
Child process pid=1395 terminated abnormally: Killed
root@mowa219-gjp4-ghostbsd-14-vm:~ # pkg upgrade -y

… I might guess that the discrepancy is a consequence of an untimely interruption …

Probably not a good guess.

Prior to the interruption, pkg-set(8) for just one package:

…
[1/719] Extracting GhostBSD-clibs-25.01-R14.2p2: 100%
pkg: Cannot delete vital package: GhostBSD-runtime!
pkg: If you are sure you want to remove GhostBSD-runtime
pkg: unset the 'vital' flag with: pkg set -v 0 GhostBSD-runtime
root@mowa219-gjp4-ghostbsd-14-vm:~ # pkg set -v 0 GhostBSD-runtime

Mark GhostBSD-runtime-24.10.1 as not vital? [y/N]: y
root@mowa219-gjp4-ghostbsd-14-vm:~ # pkg upgrade -y

Whilst this did affect an update to GhostBSD, some of what's becoming evident is not a GhostBSD issue.
