Description Rob LA LAU 2022-08-19 09:45:23 UTC 
Hi,

Apparently portmaster doesn't check for conflicts and merges before uninstalling ports to be upgraded. This left me with a system without pkg, preventing me from uninstalling the conflicting package.
Instead of copying my post on the FreeBSD forums here, I'll just link to the post in question: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-uninstall-a-package-without-pkg.86211/

Cheers,
  Rob
