depend type=incorporate does not mark a package required, it just sets a
constraint on what version can be installed. When you're looking at what
packages are actually required, you need to look carefully at the type
of the depend action, and see what each type actually does in the list
in the pkg(5) man page.
Thanks for the clarification, Alan. It's appreciated.
I think my experience with other package managers, especially RPM, has
actually been a bit of a detriment to learning IPS. Even after using OI
for several years now, I'm still finding surprises with IPS.
