What happened: I installed synth (out of curiosity) and did a sudo synth upgrade-system on my FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p9 system a few days ago. Synth then build aboout 800 packages, then deleted many of them again (???) citing a "failed dependency check", then installed a few updated ones. I started synth again yesterday to see if it was just something strange in ports the first time, and it was allmost the same, building about 800 packages, deleting many of them, only now synth then had pkg delete a few hundred installed packages on my machine. WTF? I mean, deleting kdelibs and evolution is not a nice action. The system was mostly using the FreeBSD repository before. I only build password-store, blender and apache24 from ports, all because of some non-standard settings. Any tips on what to do now? Trying to reinstall evolution makes pkg want to downgrade itself (1.6.4 to 1.6.2, which doesn't really work all that well, it goes into and endless loop after pkg 1.6.2 is installed. I've fixed this, but I guess the same will happen when I try to install kde via pkg. What can I do now, other than using portmaster to rebuild all ports?
