Description

The freebsd package provider seems to be broken.

It always tries to run pkg_add -r to install a package, regardless of whether or not the package is installed.

I think that I tried very hard to solve this problem, but I could not get the pkg tools not to search ports, which always seemed to have a more recent package version available.

When you run in debug mode, what versions does it get and where does it get them from? Can you check the actual commands it runs and make sure they’re the commands it should be running?

The bug is clearly there; I’ve just no idea how to solve it.
