[Bug 285253] devel/dbus: upgrade without bumping dependent ports breaks ... everything

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285253

(In reply to Gleb Popov from comment #4)

I am using portmaster because I sometimes want different OPTION settings and
poudriere is too heavy for me (also, when I tried it, it did not fit well with
my zfs setup, if I remember correctly).

What exactly broke: I restarted the system (where only dbus had been upgrade
using pkg upgrade from my local repo), and then basically nothing worked
anymore. Even firefox was affected (not in the list of changed ports of comment
#1), I just got to it working again by another recompile.

Do the remarks in comment #2 mean that packages of exactly the same name may
still be different because they would be recompiled in poudriere, published to
the package site, and pkg would then do a reinstall because it detects the
changed libraries? - Of course it is nice not to have to do a portrevision bump
for such things, but that packages of the same name can still be different is
something I must get used to.

Unfortunately, it also means that portmaster gets even more unsuitable.

I am not exactly sure how to proceed...
