I can perform a major upgrade from 14.2-RELEASE-p5 with pkg-static: <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2475#issuecomment-3263035996> – then restart the OS, install 771 packages from FreeBSD-ports (kde, plasma6-sddm-kcm, sddm, xorg), shut down, boot, and finally, quietly force an upgrade of all packages: /usr/bin/time -h pkg upgrade -fqUy – *without a segfault* 👍 <https://i.imgur.com/HZeVsA0.png> AMD64, root-on-ZFS, 4 GB memory (3904 MB avail at startup). OT: - I see other issues, but not a potentially show-stopping segfault - the shut down was necessary only because (a typo) I previously gave only 204 MB base memory to the VirtualBox guest.
