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:

Cheers,
