Using pkg-ng one cannot upgrade i.e. both phpMyAdmin and an other web based application due to this conflict. So while the upgrade happens to upgrade to php56 it also removes the other web application, as it only wants php5. Most of the applications on the server is maintained by pkg-ng, and it conflicts itself. Basically there are now 2 "default" php versions used by pkg-ng meaning, _I_ am not trying to upgrade to php56, pkg-ng does but it also tries to upgrade php5. I can't find any hardcode to php56 in the Makefile of databases/phpmyadmin I don't know if this is expressed better, I hope so atleast. Cheers Carsten
