            Bug ID: 295847
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portconfig: Wrong FLAVOR passed with
                    config-recursive
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: majo-bugs.freebsd.org@cerny.sk

Clean system, no packages installed, empty /var/db/ports.

cd /usr/ports/databases/py-sqlalchemy14
make config-recursive

This causes the following error:

===> Setting user-specified options for py311-sqlalchemy14-1.4.54 and
dependencies
===> Building/installing portconfig as it is required for the config dialog
===>  Cleaning for portconfig-0.6.2_2
===>  Cleaning for portconfig-0.6.2_2
===>  portconfig-0.6.2_2 FLAVOR is defined (to py311) while this port does
not have FLAVORS.
*** Error code 1

make[3]: stopped in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portconfig

===> Options unchanged

===>  Cleaning for portconfig-0.6.2_2
===>  portconfig-0.6.2_2 FLAVOR is defined (to py311) while this port does

*** Error code 1

===> Options unchanged

E.g. there are port knobs for py-sqlalchemy14, it defaults to py311 FLAVOR,
needs to build portconfig, however the FLAVOR is passed along and portconfig
fails to build.

This is probably ports build system error not an error of portconfig port.

I have been bitten with this multiple times in the past, previously with
dialog4ports:

2020-10-15 dialog4ports-0.1.6 FLAVOR is defined (to py37) while this port does
not have FLAVORS.
2021-11-12 dialog4ports-0.1.6_1 FLAVOR is defined (to py38) while this port
does not have FLAVORS.
2023-06-19 dialog4ports-0.1.6_1 FLAVOR is defined (to py39) while this port
does not have FLAVORS.

The workaround was to first install dialog4ports/portconfig manually.
