System: NetBSD big-apple.aprisoft.de 11.99.7 NetBSD 11.99.7 (POWERMAC_G5.MP) #161: Tue Jul 14 16:42:13 CEST 2026 martin@seven-days-to-the-wolves.aprisoft.de:/work/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/POWERMAC_G5.MP macppc
Architecture: powerpc
Machine: macppc
>Description:

Whenever I update all my pkgs (from already build new binary pkgs) it
takes hours to run pkg_delete -fr \*
Worst culprit are tex pkgs that over and over (and totaly useless) run
some kind of update on the fonts directories (or so it seems).

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a

>Fix:
rm -rf /usr/pkg instead
