Okay. So what command did you use to rebuild all your ports? You won't really be able install anything new until you've rebuilt everything. Everything.

I'm not aware of any problems building alpine on 10.3. I do see a typo in its OpenSSL handling and I'll fix that shortly.

If you keep running into headaches upgrading in-place, you should really switch to poudriere. Even if you get stuff working, you should really switch to poudriere. See https://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-poudriere.html for how to get up and running with it.
