            Bug ID: 195471
           Summary: pkg instal [upgrade]l [most ports] tries  to pull in
                    unrelated ports... consistently
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jbtakk at iherebuywisely.com

Problem:
pkg upgrade AND pkg install "almost" work but serious bugs [ too involved to
discuss at the forums, too serious to test fixes on other machines [ another
v9 also displays similar behavior ] ].

[ local.sqlite is too big to easily mail anywhere for upstream to diagnose,
although
I may/may not have done so. ]

Version:
pkg-devel 1.4.0.b2 [ only installed devel to fix this problem, which also
existed in the regular port. The bug(s), if I recall, are very similar. ].

They a few weeks ago worked perfectly or almost so [on this machine at least,
not
on another which demostrates also the below

Platform:
9.3-STABLE r273475 i386 
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+

  w3m-img...(r), w3m...(r)

cannot install package w3m-img, remove it from request? [Y/n]: n
pkg: cannot solve job using SAT solver
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Conflicts with the existing packages have been found.
One more solver iteration is needed to resolve them
.........................................

What DOES work in case it helps the solution(s):

This scenario, or a similar failure, occurs with each "pkg install" "pkg
upgrade" I try.  My workaround is to 
pkg upgrade -F (fetch only) and use portupgrade -P and pkg
delete -f ... and pkg add ... txz ...
but it is very problematic, undocumented, not recommended, etc.
