pkgin loses dependency information when upgrading packages (NetBSD PR 48620) about pkgin

[gdt]

Really it seems that this should use "pkg_add -u -D", which is what make replace does now, with DESTDIR. Arguably pkg_add -u itself should set unsafe_depends.

Just to be clear: The problem is that pkgin does it in two steps. pkg_delete on the old version (with -f) which removes the dependency information, and then pkg_add without manually re-adding the dependency information.

This should be fixed with recent changes including switching to pkg_add -U, and ensuring we're rebuilding +REQUIRED_BY after every operation.

In the next pkgin release I also have changes that avoid issues with bad reverse dependencies and instead uses the correct REQUIRED_BY data from the pkgdb.

I'll close this one out for now, and if you still see any issues after using the latest release (hopefully out soon) then we'll take a look.

Thanks for handling this one!
