So my question is, shouldn't "pkg_add -r zip" check installed packages
for dependencies and make a correct +REQUIRED_BY file for zip? I know
that portupgrade and portmaster does this.
As I understand, adding and upgrading should be separate processes.
When you add a package, you should check if an old version of the
package or conflicting packages exist and install package otherwise.
When you update a package, you save all dependency info, delete an old
package, add a new one and restore dependency info. To have a recursion
is good here (update depended packages or packages that depend on the
package) as user choice.
There are some unclean cases there. E.g. packages with different
PREFIXes, etc.
