pkg autoremove enters infinite loop

[SadClouds]

I've been experimenting with base pkg on FreeBSD-15 and hit this issue:

pkg info | grep metapackage

Then for each metapackage I executed:

pkg delete -f FreeBSD-set-XXX

This removed all sets, including base. The individual packages are still there. I did not touch them.

If I now attempt to run "pkg autoremove" to see which packages need to be marked manually installed, pkg goes into infinite loop, gradually consuming memory at a rate of 1 MiB every 5 seconds.

Thank you. I first observed this issue on 2025-10-18. One of four screenshots at the time:

/usr/bin/time -h pkg autoremove

– and I noted,

… Cancelled after ten hours. …

2025-10-26:

the endless pkg autoremove issue may be be fixed. IIRC it was previously reproducible after deleting a meta package or two.

I encountered the issue again this morning:

• VirtualBox guest name FreeBSD 13, 14, 15, 16
• guest snapshot name FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso installed
• the tail of a run of pkg -dddd autoremove whilst using script to create a typescript file
• a fourteen-minute run of /usr/bin/time -h pkg autoremove, cancelled by me.

After the incident yesterday (2025-12-15), I saved a snapshot at 08:10:

• pkg issue 2571, endless autoremove

After restoring the previous snapshot, FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso installed:

After restoring snapshot pkg issue 2571, endless autoremove I renamed the typescript file to typescript.txt and saved the history to history.txt:

• history.txt – 16 lines, beginning with 3
• typescript.txt – 24193 lines, 7.1 MiB

The history is not what I wanted :-( because I forgot to switch from sh to /bin/tcsh before the session.

Context

Two emails to freebsd-questions:

1. Re: 15.0 - rc.conf ignores a setting from infoomatic
2. FreeBSD-console-tools (was: 15.0 - rc.conf ignores a setting) a question from me.

Steps to reproduce

1. VirtualBox
2. give 2048 MB to a guest
3. boot from FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
4. United Kingdom keyboard
5. offline packages
6. GPT (UEFI) partition scheme
7. 4g swap
8. accept the default set of three optional components – excluding optional
9. observe installation of 311 packages
10. deselect sshd
11. select ntpd and ntpd_sync_on_start
12. do not add a user
13. finish
14. manual configuration
15. pkg iinfo FreeBSD-set
16. observe five meta packages – including FreeBSD-set-optional
17. pkg delete -fy -g 'FreeBSD-set-*'
18. pkg install -y FreeBSD-set-kernels FreeBSD-set-minimal FreeBSD-set-minimal-jail
19. pkg autoremove

#2571 (comment)

If I perform a minimal installation (no optional components):

• after forcing deletion of FreeBSD-set-minimal (the sole set) I can not reproduce the issue.

Condensed steps to reproduce

Try this:

1. perform a minimal installation using offline packages
2. observe installation of 62 packages
3. pkg install -qy FreeBSD-set-devel ; pkg delete -fy FreeBSD-set-devel
4. pkg autoremove

If I'm not mistaken, meta package FreeBSD-set-devel is enough to trigger the issue.

Reproducible with FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT and ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
