I have mariadb-server installed as part of my nextcloud installation.  I also
run tclhttpd server which responds to network links from google earth by
querying a postgresql database.  To do that it needs the tdbc postgresql driver
only.  But the tdbc pkg tries to install mysql-client.  It can only do that by
uninstalling mariadb-client thus breaking my nextcloud.  I'm somewhat of a
newbie deciding to switch to freebsd from arch for complex reasons.  On arch,
tdbc is included in the tcl package and has no installation dependency on any
database client.  Obviously you need to install the client for the database you
want to access.
I found that I could install the tdbc port without mysql client by modifying
the mysql_uses in the makefile. But the broken pkg comes back when I do 'pkg
upgrade'.  
What is my best and easiest solution?
