OPNsense 22.1.7 released
We went back to look at why this happened and found https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/1917 which we reported a long time ago. It seems that when py37-MarkupSafe became py37-markupsafe the FreeBSD package tool would mark the new package as manually installed (which it wasn't) so it sticked around ever since then for some people.

Is this a FreeBSD Issue / Am I doing something wrong ?
Apart from that, the pkg source is available here: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg. You can file a feature request there, too. Code is pretty clean IIRC and I'm sure they appreciate patches.
