There's a "-N -f" missing in that echoed command line, which should have
been triggered by the following in bsd.pkg.mk:
. if defined(PKG_PRESERVE)
. if (${UPDATE_RUNNING} == "YES")
# used to update w/o removing any files
real-su-deinstall-flags+= -N -f
. endif
. endif
Do you have any local bsd.pkg.mk mods that may affect this?

What you use for DEPENDS_TARGET shouldn't matter; the "-N -f" is still
missing. You should know the drill (<grin>): What are the *full* contents
of mk.conf?
