pkg-1.21.0: after upgrade 1.20.9_1 -> 1.21.0: pkg core dumps on specific ports

Hello,

after updating (portmaster and make) ports-mgmt/ports from 1.20.9_1 -> 1.21.0 on CURRENT and
14-STABLE, I can't update several ports:

www/apache24
databases/redis

pkg core dumps while performing installation. apache24 and redis are ports I realized this
misbehaviour on ALL 14-STABLE and CURRENT boxes (both OS variants latest builds, i.e. FreeBSD
15.0-CURRENT #32 main-n269135-da2b732288c7: Fri Apr  5 20:30:39 CEST 2024 amd64).

After some updates on a poudriere builder (CURRENT base host, 14.0-RELENG jail with poudriere)
building packages for 14.0-RELENG, I observed the same behaviour when updating packages on
target hosts where pkg is first updated, on those hosts, nextcloud-server and icinga2 host
utilizing also databases/redis and www/apache24, pkg fails the same way.

I do not dare to update our poudriere hosts since the problem seems to pop up when pkg 1.21.0
is installed, no matter whether I use poudriere built ports (from our own builder hosts) or
recent source tree with portmaster/make build process.

Looks like a serious bug to me and not a site/user specific problem. Hopefully others do
realize the same ...

Thanks in advance,

oh
