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.

Question about managing xbps-src repos
And, correct me if I'm wrong please, I'm trying to understand but it seems confusing to me...this is the only repo you're talking about, right? and what about all the others, like, for example, this or this? Could you please explain more in detail how should I manage them?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pkg and voided-packages you can also consider the following projects:
NomadBSD - Livesystem based on FreeBSD
librewolf-void - LibreWolf package for Void Linux (XBPS)
