Florian Smeets:Yes, I had the same issue yesterday evening. When the system was back, I was too tired to summarize and send something to the mailing list.as a workaround, i suggest anyone upgrading pkgbase split the upgrade into two steps: pkg upgrade -r base # upgrade base pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD # upgrade ports replace 'base' with whatever your pkgbase repository is called.
I don't think that's going to help / would have helped. I just checked a couple of things. I disabled my ports package repo before running pkg upgrade for it to prevent those listed packages from being removed. The list just showed FreeBSD-* packages that were supposed to be upgraded.
I uploaded the important part of /var/log/messages here https://people.freebsd.org/~flo/pkg-upgrade-20250808.txt>
as this problem appears to be triggered by something in ports, this should ensure you don't end up with a broken base system if you run into this.
Not sure, I pretty certain that I only had pkgbase repo enabled and maybe FreeBSD-kmods. I cannot say with certainty for the kmods as /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf was replaced in my recovery attempts.
