You installed using an earlier profile, obviously, when devfs was the default
for virtual/dev-manager (otherwise you wouldn't have it installed).
Because the profile depends on a virtual any attempt to remove a package
providing that virtual will throw up the warning.
Exactly the same symptom you're seeing with editors on -user.
